.png) After quite a bit of uncertainty over the last few days, sentiment on the Alt market has started to rise again. There's nothing screaming #Altseason at this point, but generally, the longer that $BTC channels sideways, the looser the purse strings get on the Alt market. There are primarily two ways I've seen the 40 influencers and traders I follow for this analysis size up the market. The bullish scenario is that the Alts have all cooled off from their near month-long run and are gearing up to rip once again. The more bearish scenario is that we're on the precipice of further $BTC breakdown that will drag the market down with it. That said, a number of coins are out to a strong start this week with abundant positive sentiment from influencers despite a pretty bearish week overall. Many aren't, but I only highlighted the worst of the bunch in the chart below. <b>You can always find the full data sheet at the bottom of my posts</b> Here's what's cookin' and what ain't:  <h3>The

investigative data journalist during the day, and I've been looking for a way to cut through the noise and get a true sense of what some of the biggest crypto influencers are pushing toward and pulling away from. Using a pseudonym here because I can't post about this shit on my verified accounts. I've become mildly obsessed with crypto and its constant stream of data and needed an outlet. So here I am. <h3>What is this?</h3> Each week, I scrape the Twitter accounts of some of the crypto world's favorite influencers, traders and TA folk. I run a basic sentiment analysis to see which coins they are mentioning positively, in a neutral way and which they are mentioning in a negative light. I calculate "power" simply by subtracting negative mentions from positive ones to give an aggregate score. The higher the score, the better, the lower the worse. For the daily rankings, I also create aggregate scores for the majors and the Alt markets. The Alts get a 10 point deduction any time the majors go below zero, since overall the Alt-market has a tough time staying above water when BTC is in a spiral. This isn't financial advice, just my own way of trying to make sense of what's out there. And as with most things, the more data I collect, hopefully, the more interesting it'll be. This is a work in progress. Please leave suggestions on how to make it better. I imagine if I keep up with it, I'll be able to expand a bunch of the analysis, but I wanted to start somewhere.
