Santiment flags risk as crypto bullish talk spikes while $BTC holds $80K



Bullish sentiment in crypto social media has surged, and analysts at Santiment warn this could weaken the current rally. According to the platform, markets driven by excessive confidence often lose momentum faster, while rallies fueled by skepticism tend to last longer.

The ratio of bullish to bearish crypto comments has climbed to 1.5:1 as Bitcoin gained 11.5% over the past month, trading near $80,600. At the same time, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in "Neutral," showing investors are still cautious.

Santiment believes the healthiest scenario for Bitcoin would be a pullback toward $75K to reset market sentiment and remove excessive leverage. The platform also noted that Bitcoin supply on exchanges has started rising after a long decline, which may indicate early profit-taking by holders.

Analysts remain divided on BTC's next move. Michael van de Poppe expects a possible retest of the $70K–75K range before further growth, while Matthew Hyland says Bitcoin could still rally toward $87K–95K before June.
