Santiment: Traders Buying the Dip Could Trigger Another Downturn

• The rise in mentions of “buy the dip” may signal the risk of further declines.
• Real entry opportunities arise when most lose hope for growth, Santiment said.

After a minor correction on Oct. 28, 2025, retail investors have been active. According to Santiment, mentions of “buy the dip” (buy the dip) have risen sharply.

Experts noted that historically, this behavior has often led not to growth, but to even greater declines. When the market is “bought” too actively — it can be a sign of premature optimism, the statement said.

According to Santiment analysts, the most powerful recoveries happen not when everyone expects growth, but when most people lose faith in the market. The shift from FOMO (fear of missing an opportunity) to FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) plays a key role here.

Analysts also paid attention to ONDO and SPX — these are the tokens that are now facing increased levels of negativity. Such an informational background often preceded an upward trend reversal.

Recall, earlier, CryptoQuant said that traders are returning to spot positions after the collapse.
