Bitcoin is experiencing a surge in social media attention, with positive commentary outpacing negative feedback for the first time in over a year.
According to a report by Santiment, the ratio of positive Bitcoin comments has more than doubled, signalling a significant shift in market sentiment. However, this sudden optimism might be a cause for concern, as prices tend to peak when Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) dominates conversations.
How is Bitcoin Performing?
The price of Bitcoin is at $57,903.07, but its 24-hour trading volume has decreased by over 15%. According to market observers, the excessive enthusiasm of the crowd can be a warning of an oncoming downturn. Historically, market declines have followed traders who get overly optimistic.
“Look for traders to ‘slow their roll’ and start to express FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) again,” the research says. When doubts return to the market, Bitcoin can start to challenge its former highs, especially the ones it reached in March of this year.
Many investors however believe that Bitcoin has great potential in the long run. The cryptocurrency space has seen its share of partisanship, especially with political events like the U.S. presidential election. Nonetheless, a lot of people think that Bitcoin will prosper despite the political climate.
Steven Lubka, head of Swan Bitcoin’s private customers and family offices, shared this idea when he said, “Do I think we’ll be in the six digits by 2025? Very likely. Do I believe that either way, we’ll be in the six figures? Almost probably,” CNBC reports.
What’s for Bitcoin in the Future?
Lubka’s assurance is indicative of a larger view held by Bitcoin investors, who think that the digital commodity will appreciate over the coming years regardless of political changes.
During the summer, when former US President Donald Trump made pro-crypto gestures and helped spark a wave of positive emotion in the market, this optimism was particularly high.Â
The fundamental lesson learnt here is that, despite the possibility that social media fads and political developments could influence short-term market volatility, Bitcoin’s long-term outlook is still bright.
Investors are keeping a tight eye, anticipating a return to uncertainty and a reduction in the current FOMO, which could lead to more advantageous buying chances.
