As the cryptocurrency market continued its downward trend on Monday, Santiment, a crypto analytics firm, released an insightful report on the prevailing market sentiment.
The firm observed rising panic among individual investors, particularly new traders who have entered the market in the past few months.
This wave of uncertainty and fear, often referred to as FUD, has heavily impacted Bitcoin and Ethereum, causing widespread concern.
Santiment attributed this panic to the lack of experience among recent market entrants, who are unfamiliar with typical market corrections.
Historically, such situations often trigger emotional selling from retail investors, allowing larger players, such as whales and sharks, to capitalize by purchasing assets at lower prices.
This accumulation can set the stage for price rebounds, although analysts cautioned that predicting the timing of these movements remains uncertain. The right conditions for a potential rally, however, appear to be forming.
Bitcoin’s recent surge above has reignited enthusiasm across the crypto market, lifting not just the leading cryptocurrency but also signaling a broader altcoin revival.
Veteran Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone has reiterated his bearish stance on Bitcoin, adding Dogecoin (DOGE) to the list of assets showing signs of weakness.
Ripple Labs is preparing for another large-scale XRP release, set to occur on May 1, when 1 billion tokens—currently valued at around $2.1 billion—will be unlocked from escrow.
Bitcoin’s recent dip below $100,000 might feel discouraging, especially after soaring to $109,000 earlier this year.
