The number of “buy the dip” mentions on social media platforms has reached its highest level since April after the crypto market cap plunged 6% and meme coins shed more than 9% of their value in the last 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With Bitcoin falling as low as $95.5K today, the ratio of crypto discussions that are about buying crypto’s dip has reached its highest level in over 8 months,” said the on-chain analytics firm Santiment in a Dec. 19 X<\/span> post<\/span><\/a>. “The last time we saw the crowd nearly this enthusiastic about dip buying was the major crash on August 4th. Since that time, Bitcoin’s market cap is +81% higher.”<\/span><\/p>\n
