Data from Santiment shows traders moved from intense fear to what it describes as ultra FOMO mode between Monday and Thursday. Rather than viewing this excitement as a positive signal, the firm considers it a potential warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Market Doubt to Renewed Momentum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the week, Bitcoin struggled near 76,000, while negative commentary surged across social platforms. Santiment\u2019s sentiment ratio dropped into fear driven territory, which the firm interpreted as a buying opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Thursday, April 23, Bitcoin rebounded above 78,000 and approached the 80,000 level again. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near 77,500, showing gains of about 4 percent over the week and close to 10 percent over the past month, based on data from CoinGecko. Despite this recovery, it remains significantly below its October 2025 peak of over 126,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santiment noted that sentiment has now flipped strongly into FOMO territory, calling it a clear caution sign. The firm explained that a breakout above 80,000 would appear more reliable if enthusiasm declines slightly before the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ETF Inflows Support the Trend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Institutional activity has been more consistent. Farside Investors reported net inflows of 223 million dollars into US spot Bitcoin ETFs on April 23. BlackRock led the activity, with its IBIT fund bringing in 167.5 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Wise Crypto highlighted that IBIT has attracted around 3 billion dollars so far this year, placing it among the top performing ETFs in terms of inflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Concerns Over a Derivatives Led Rally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some analysts remain cautious about the sustainability of the recent price increase. Carmelo Aleman argued that the move from roughly 76,000 to 79,400 was largely driven by futures trading rather than strong spot demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, open interest climbed from about 24.9 billion dollars to 28 billion dollars. At the same time, more than 1.1 billion dollars in short positions across Bitcoin and Ethereum were liquidated, forcing traders to close bearish bets and pushing prices higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although such rallies can be rapid, they may lack stability without solid spot market support. Aleman warned that this type of structure often leaves Bitcoin exposed to potential reversals if buying momentum weakens.#crypto#cryptonews<a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysts suggest that Bitcoin breaking above 80,000 would carry more weight if market optimism cools slightly beforehand.
