Besides Chainlink, Santiment named Bitcoin, Goat Network, Dogecoin, XRP, PEPE, Filecoin, Shiba Inu, EigenLayer and Beam. Of these, Bitcoin has received significant chatter lately. From the potential Indian government ban of BTC, to the Michael Saylor self-custody controversy, the coin remains on the frontlines of social discussion this week.
Dogecoin has also drawn the attention of retail investors thus far this week. From DOGE whale accumulations to ETF discussions, the chances of the coin turbocharging a new bull rally is high.
Despite their currently lower prices, Santiment noted that the speculative nature of the market could market the coins soar in the short term.

It is worth noting that Bitcoin remains the standard of measure for cryptocurrencies in the industry. Judging by events like spot Bitcoin ETF trend, many analysts are predicting a potential breach of the All-Time High (ATH) before the end of this year.
In particular, Bernstein analysts predicted a $220,000 top for the coin. Another ambitious BTC price forecast tipped a $230,000 surge if the coin repeats Gold’s bullish pattern. While the market offers no guarantees, the social sentiment and expectations might drive the profiled coins upward soon.
