I just noticed that Santiment published an interesting analysis about Bitcoin — they point out that the level of FUD (sợ hãi, bất ổn, nghi ngờ) on social media is currently at its peak, as it has in previous instances, often coming before short-term price recoveries. Bitcoin has fallen by about 16% since the end of January, so it’s normal to see quite a high level of negative sentiment.

Interestingly, according to historical data, when pessimistic sentiment becomes too widespread on X, Reddit, and other platforms, there are usually fewer sellers, giving the market a chance to recover. This pattern has repeated many times — in June 2022 after the collapse of LUNA and 3AC, and again in January 2023, when there was extreme FUD before the price bounced. At present, market sentiment is at 50% pessimistic, suggesting that selling pressure may have reached its peak.

But what does “potential” mean here — it’s only a tactical signal, not a guarantee. A sustainable recovery still needs positive fundamentals, such as clearer regulations, demand from major institutions, or changes in monetary policy. The on-chain data, technical support levels, and the macroeconomic backdrop in 2026 will determine whether this is the start of a truly bullish market or just a temporary bounce within a larger downtrend.
