News Brief
PANews reported on January 28th that Santiment data shows an interesting shift: social media chatter about silver and gold has actually dominated crypto discussions for most of this month as precious metal valuations surge. I believe gold conversations peaked dramatically in January's second week when prices reached new heights, essentially monopolizing online discourse from the 8th through the 18th. Crypto talk made a brief comeback during week three; however, silver recently stole the spotlight after touching record levels. Santiment analysts observe that retail investors appear to be jumping across entire asset classes now—shifting focus to gold, silver, and stocks—rather than just bouncing between digital sectors like meme coins or AI tokens. Overall, they're simply chasing whatever's climbing.

PANews reported on January 28th that, according to Cointelegraph, Santiment data shows that as precious metal prices rise, discussions about silver and gold have outpaced those about cryptocurrencies on social media for most of this month. Gold discussions exploded in the second week of January as prices hit new highs, dominating social media conversations between January 8th and 18th. Cryptocurrency discussions briefly rebounded in the third week of January, but silver has recently become the focus of social media again as prices have reached record highs.

Santiment analysts point out that cryptocurrency traders often switch between different digital asset sectors (such as meme coins, AI tokens, and blue-chip coins) to chase trends, while current retail investors are showing a tendency to switch across asset classes, with their interest shifting to areas such as gold, silver, and even stocks as the latest rising assets follow.
