Bitcoin has climbed back above $73,000 from lows that saw the Crypto Fear & Greed Index in single-digit fear, and with that recovery has come a familiar chorus of the bottom is in, the next leg up is approaching, and the cycle is ready to turn bullish again. One analyst on X, however, is not buying it, and his reasoning is based on one of the most consistent patterns in Bitcoin’s price history.

Why Rising Bullish Sentiment Can Cause More Downside
Bitcoin’s sentiment is now slowly turning bullish again, which is a reflection of its price action in recent days. However, according to crypto analyst Max, the gradual return of optimism across social media and trading circles is a warning sign.

Max, who shared his outlook on X alongside a multi-cycle Bitcoin chart, proposed that the re-emergence of bullish sentiment at this point is precisely what should concern investors. “When sentiment slowly starts turning bullish again,” he wrote, “that’s usually your sign that the bottom isn’t in yet.”

Max pointed out that recent discussions around a cycle bottom forming already, along with predictions of a historic rally, mirror sentiment conditions that have always appeared before further downside moves. In short, the crowd turning optimistic too early could mean the market has not yet completed its corrective phase.

This outlook is based on the fact that the Bitcoin price has not yet produced the structural conditions that have historically confirmed cycle lows. He identifies three specific cycle low signals that are currently absent on the Bitcoin chart: total capitulation, repeated sweeps of the lows, and a confirmed change in market structure on the weekly timeframe.

Goldman Sachs managing director Lee Coppersmith says the Magnificent Seven stocks could be primed for a rebound.In his latest outlook, Coppersmith compares the current market environment to the March 2020 COVID-related drawdown.“During that span, just like today, what it kind of really revealed was that the market had lost its confidence in those Mag 7 stocks as being the leaders. And so, I would tell you that I think if you were to, you know, see what happened back then, obviously, post-COVID, obviously, the reemergence of those companies took place. And it was a really great opportunity to be putting on those upside expressions, particularly in those companies. Whether you did them outright. Or if you did them versus the rest of the market, right? And so, what we would say today to clients is that if you wanted to basically look at ways to raise your exposure to the broader market as a whole after a month of basically derisking, this presents another really attractive opportunity for clients to use those expressions as a way to get longer on the market as a whole.”Coppersmith says investors haven’t lost confidence in the artificial intelligence theme and are approaching AI with a barbell strategy.“They want to own both the inputs into AI through the infrastructure plays. But they also want to own the outputs in the AI, which means the transport companies, the infrastructure that actually then leads to obviously productivity booms.”Featured Image: Shutterstock/Andrey Burmakin

rusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure XRP pundits have drawn attention to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's comments in which he made a Bitcoin prediction of $200,000. The Ripple CEO alluded to the current regulatory landscape and how it could drive BTC to this psychological level. Ripple CEO's Comments About Bitcoin ResurfaceXRP pundits COACHTY and XRP Queen drew attention to a FOX interview by the Ripple CEO, in which he predicted last year that Bitcoin could reach $200,000. He noted that this was an upgrade from his earlier prediction of $175,000. Garlinghouse explained that he believed a BTC rally to $200,000 was not 'unreasonable' given the current regulatory landscape. Related Reading: Major Ripple Developments You Might Have Missed That Could Affect The XRP Price The Ripple CEO stated that people underestimate how the United States, the world's largest economy, has gone from a headwind to a tailwind. It is worth noting that Garlinghouse was responding to a question highlighting that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson had predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by year-end 2025. However, the Ripple CEO didn't provide a timeline for when Bitcoin could reach $200,000, which means his prediction remains valid. The focus is currently on the CLARITY Act, which pundits have predicted could spark the next bull run for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market when it passes. One of these pundits includes Fergani, who recently predicted that Bitcoin could rally to $200,000, in line with the CEO's prediction, partly thanks to the CLARITY Act. The pundit also noted that institutional interest in crypto is increasing, which will also contribute to this rally to a new all-

Whale profit signal goes positive again

Bitmine's buying aggressively, and whale positioning looks just as constructive. Per recent data, wallets holding over 100,000 ETH have just moved back into unrealized profit; this is after they briefly went into a loss zone. This change has so far been a key inflection point. The pattern of price rallies, following similar flips in the years 2019, 2020, and late 2022, brings weight.

Large holders are once again back in profit, so it's clear that confidence is returning at the top end of the market.

That could be an early bullish sign for ETH.

WAR: Geopolitical Meme Coin on Solana

Bitcoin, ether in Goldilocks rally while smaller coins take a back seat

Major cryptocurrencies are rising alongside gains in U.S. equities as oil prices shed the war premium built up in recent weeks. But broader market participation remains elusive and limited to only a few coins.

Bitcoin and ether (ETH) have risen 5% and 9%, respectively, in the past 24 hours as digital asset treasury firms like Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine (BMNR) sustain strong demand and traders seek bullish exposure via futures. More importantly, perpetual funding rates are positive, but remain below 10% for both assets, indicating healthy demand for bullish bets without signs of overheating — a Goldilocks scenario.

Solana's SOL has bounced to the mid-$80s, but it has been here before several times in recent weeks and still doesn't offer directional clarity. A similar conclusion can be drawn for the payments-focused token XRP.

Analysts are bullish, but want to see $BTC establish a foothold above $74,000-$75,000.

"A victory for the bulls in this battle will pave an easier path to the $87K–$90K range, where the 200-day MA and the November–January support are located. Optimism in global markets increases the chances of reaching these heights in the coming days, but before rising above $90K, Bitcoin may require a lengthy period of consolidation and cooling off," Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, said in an email.

The digital asset services wing of the Marex Group stressed that bitcoin needs to hold above $74,000 without the market becoming overheated with excess leverage.

"If bitcoin can consolidate above 73k to 74k without funding overheating, this can extend. If it gives it back quickly, it confirms that the move was mostly headline and squeeze, not a true demand shift," Marex's crypto trading analysts said.
