Recently I started this analysis on sentiment trends, I’ve been keeping a close eye on how sentiment is lining up with price action for Solana. The chart you’re seeing shows sentiment for Solana (the blue line) alongside its price movement.

What’s sentiment analysis? It’s the process of gathering and evaluating the tone and mood expressed in various forms of content—like news articles and social media posts. I use several sentiment analysis tools to create a weighted score that gives us a feel for the market’s mood. This sentiment score offers insights into how investors and the general public are feeling about a particular investment.

Since August 3rd, sentiment has been on the rise, showing increasing positivity from investors. This upward trend, tracked here using a 7-day moving average, contrasts sharply with the Solana’s price, which has flattened out more recently.

This kind of divergence—where sentiment goes up but price stays flat—is often a signal of something big on the horizon. It could mean there’s still some juice left in the positive trend Solana has been on since it bounced from the low on August 5th. Historically, when sentiment and price diverge like this, we often see some volatility or significant price moves, since investor outlook can be a leading indicator of what’s coming next.

I’ll be watching this closely to see whether this leads to a breakout or if we’re in for more consolidation.
