Bitcoin is entering the new week under a cloud of doubt, with social sentiment tilting to fear just as price action continues to stall below $66,800. Data from Santiment shows a noticeable change in crowd behavior, hinting that the market’s mood may be reaching an inflection point. Sentiment extremes have often corresponded with turning points in previous cycles, but the current backdrop of price action is somewhat confusing. Related Reading: XRP Eyes $8.30 Target As Rare Chart Pattern Emerges From Prolonged Decline FUD Returns With Bitcoin Stalling At $66,800 On-chain analytics platform Santiment pointed out a notable change in crowd psychology on Saturday, reporting that bearish discussions across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other major platforms have increased to their highest ratio relative to bullish commentary since February 28th. Bitcoin was trading at $66,800 at the time of the data snapshot, within what Santiment’s sentiment model designates as the FUD Zone. This is a threshold where negative commentary structurally overwhelms positive discourse. The ratio stood at just 0.81 bullish comments for every 1.00 bearish comment, marking the most pessimistic social reading in five weeks. A review of Santiment’s chart shows the spread between bullish and bearish commentary widening materially through the final days of March and into the first weekend of April. Bitcoin Sentiment Chart. Source: @santimentfeed On X Santiment attributed the deteriorating sentiment in part to an extended period of stagnancy across the broader cryptocurrency market throughout 2026, a year that has so far frustrated bulls who anticipated a reversal of 2025’s year-end bearish momentum. Bitcoin spent much of the first quarter trading bearish, and the lack of a meaningful breakout appears to be wearing on retail participants. Furthermore, Bitcoin ended Q1 2026 with a negative 22.1% close. Peak FUD Could Be The Setup Bulls Are Waiting For This sentiment deterioration has been characterized by the Bitcoin price action relatively compressed below $70,000, with repeated attempts to reclaim higher levels in late March and early April being met with rejection. However, the very depth of current pessimism is being read by Santiment as a constructive signal. The firm’s commentary leaned contrarian, noting that markets have historically tended to move in the opposite direction of prevailing crowd expectations. According to the on-chain analytics platform, a high level of FUD like this is a good sign that things can turn positive sooner rather than later. There are also external uncertainties playing a role in how the sentiment surrounding Bitcoin has turned out. Geopolitical tensions and regulatory discussions, including those surrounding the proposed CLARITY Act, are causing hesitation among participants.

Prominent market analyst with the pseudonym RugaResearch has drawn attention to recent developments with Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) Spent Output Ratio (SOPR), indicating that these key participants are exiting their positions at a significant loss. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stalls At $66,000 As Market Quietly Prepares For A Downside Draw Bitcoin LTH SOPR: Quiet Market Divergence The SOPR compares the price at which coins were last moved (cost basis) to the price at which they are currently being spent. It is used to measure whether coins being spent are in profit or loss. When the SOPR drops below 1, it indicates investors are selling their holdings at a loss and vice versa. Since March 11, RugaResearch reports that Bitcoin LTH SOPR has dipped below the 0.80 mark on seven different occasions to date, suggesting the long-term holders have steadily produced capitulations over the last month. Some of these occasions include 0.639 on March 11, 0.723 on March 28, 0.681 on March 30, and recently 0.753 on April 3. This suggests that Bitcoin long-term holders are presently realizing losses equal to 25% of their cost basis. When compared with the short-term holders (STH) SOPR of 0.996, RugaResearch also highlights a developing market divergence drawing little to no attention from investors. These figures, combined with the SOPR Ratio of 0.757, suggest that short-term holders are barely making losses, while the diamond hands are deep underwater, a situation in total contrast to a typical market structure where LTH are expected to realize their assets at a profit. However, it’s worth noting that a substantial portion of this distribution is going to exchanges, which have now recorded a net positive period over the last month. According to the renowned market analyst, while an LTH SOPR significantly below 1 could indicate a severe lack of conviction, this on-chain development also served as a forerunner of major structural market shifts. RugaResearch explains that the implication of the frequency of negative SOPR is less about the current losses and their eventual results, which could be either deeper losses or the formation of a price floor.

However, daily trading volume is down by 30.57% and valued at $15.95 billion. This sharp decline in transaction activity suggests the recent minor gains are speculation-driven. According to additional data from CoinCodex, the market sentiment remains strongly bearish, with the Fear & Greed Index at 11, suggesting extreme fear among investors. Nevertheless, CoinoCodex analysts foresee a rebound to $72,284 in the next month in line with the range-bound movement observed since early February.
