Bitcoin’s market is experiencing a surge in positive sentiment, with enthusiasm from crypto enthusiasts reaching a new height as the largest digital asset undergoes a brief price recovery, raising the possibilities for more price growth in the short and long term.


Bitcoin’s Positive Market Sentiment On The Rise


In a recent data report from Santiment, a leading market intelligence platform, it was revealed that the positive market sentiment around Bitcoin has witnessed a significant increase as the metric hit a 1-year peak, reflecting a wave of optimism among retail and institutional investors.


The surge in positive attitude observed in investor gatherings and on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) could be a result of recent price bounces and a renewed sense of hope for Bitcoin’s future, which comes after weeks of price consolidation and growing buying activity.

A surge of positive Bitcoin commentary across social media has come in over the past week. So much so that the ratio of positive comments is more than double the amount of negative comments for the first time in over a year.


According to the platform, the general public’s sudden euphoria about the flagship cryptocurrency asset is alarming due to the fact that prices often peak when this degree of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is present. Thus, Santiment urges the need to watch out for traders who will “slow their roll” and begin voicing fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) once again.

Furthermore, the platform noted that Bitcoin will genuinely start to challenge its current all-time high level of $73,000 achieved in March this year once again once the public resumes spreading doubt. This change in attitude demonstrates how resilient and appealing BTC is as a long-term investment asset.


With the positive sentiment growing significantly during recent price recoveries, the surge implies that crypto investors and enthusiasts are confident that a strong price rally could take place in the upcoming months, possibly leading to a new all-time high.


BTC Whales On A Massive Buying Spree In The Past Weeks


Bitcoin’s enthusiasm increase is evidenced by the recent rise in Bitcoin accumulation by whales, with thousands of BTC being purchased in the past few weeks, signaling a potential bullish sentiment among investors. James Van Straten, a senior analyst at popular news outlet Coindesk, shared the positive development on the X platform on Thursday.


According to the expert, over 116,000 BTC have been added to the net total in the last 30 days, which is around 8 times the monthly issuance. This substantial purchase valued at a staggering $6.7 billion at current market rates, reflects the strategic actions taken by whales, which is observed as a key indication for a price upswing.


Van Straten highlighted that the accumulation marks the highest net amount since July last year. Meanwhile, about 50% of the net accumulation has come from wallet addresses holding less than 10 BTC.
