Crypto Is Rising – But No One’s Talking About It Yet
According to a new report by analytics firm Alphractal, social interest in cryptocurrencies remains surprisingly muted—even as Bitcoin hovers above $117,000 and altcoins recover from earlier lows. But this lack of buzz might be a hidden opportunity for investors.
Using data from platforms like Google Trends and Wikipedia, the firm found that search activity and general curiosity around crypto have yet to reflect the bullish price action.
Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson suggests this is typical in the early stages of a market cycle—when skepticism runs high and mainstream excitement hasn’t caught up.
“Right now, few believe what they’re seeing. That disbelief, especially around the possibility of an altseason, signals we’re early,” Wedson explained.
The firm argues that subdued sentiment often precedes explosive moves, as the absence of retail euphoria leaves room for strategic entries before full-blown FOMO takes over.
Alex is Editor-in-Chief of Coindoo and co-founder of Millennial Media Group, with nearly a decade of experience covering financial markets - crypto first, then everything else. It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
