The move came after the US Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act in a 15-9 bipartisan vote, sending the important market-structure <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/clarity-act-heads-to-key-markup-latest-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">bill to the full Senate.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SantimentData\/status\/2055345606625739074?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Santiment\u2019s data shows <\/a>that Bitcoin social sentiment has moved back into a FOMO zone. On May 15, Santiment\u2019s social sentiment ratio for Bitcoin reached 1.55 bullish comments for every 1.00 bearish comment, placing it within a FOMO Zone.<\/p>\n<p>That reading mirrors a prior peak recorded on April 25, when the ratio reached 1.58 bullish-to-bearish. Any time the ratio of positive to negative commentary on social media crosses this FOMO zone, then it is an ideal temporary profit-taking moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean Bitcoin has to crash because the crowd has turned optimistic. The same Santiment chart shows that the better contrarian setup came on April 18, when the bullish-to-bearish ratio dropped to 0.59. This was deep in the FUD Zone, before Bitcoin mounted a recovery.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-681002\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?resize=994%2C571\" alt=\"\" width=\"994\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?w=994 994w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a.jpg_6024e3.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SantimentData\/status\/2055345606625739074?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin Ratio Of Positive vs. Negative Commentary.
