Major caps are taking a beating in the recent market conditions, with a particular look at Bitcoin (BTC), Binance Coin (BNB), Chainlink (LINK), and Dogecoin (DOGE). These majors have experienced a high level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) that could position them for breakouts, Santiment claims . The crypto market intelligence platform indicates that sentiment surrounding these large caps has experienced the most fear, uncertainty, and doubt within the market. Santiment explains the “Crowd has become extremely negative as top cap prices have failed to rebound.” The 2022 bear market has offered little respite to investors and holders, with Bitcoin dropping to new yearly lows as buyers begin to lose hope of a market recovery anytime soon.
