As the Rally in Bitcoin Continues, an Analysis Firm Issues a “Greed” Warning

As cryptocurrency markets conclude a volatile week, a notable warning has come from leading analytics firm Santiment. The optimism that has dominated the market following Bitcoin’s vượt qua the $82,000 mark is being interpreted as a “risk signal” in light of the data.

Bitcoin surged to $82,800 this week, its best performance in three months. However, Ethereum’s drop below $2,300 and the overall decline in market capitalization suggest a decrease in investor interest.

Analysts say this significant drop in trading volume indicates a more stable period compared to the volatility of the past week.

According to Santiment’s internal metrics, current market sentiment has entered the “extreme greed” zone. Experts, noting that this often signals a correction, warn that prices could fall to the $75,000 level.

The short-term MVRV (Market Value – Realized Value) ratio being around 3.5% also increases the risk of profit taking.

Data reveals the largest drop in Bitcoin wallet numbers since the summer of 2024. Approximately 272,000 small (individual) investor wallets have been emptied in the last six days.

Santiment interprets this situation as “individual investors exiting the market,” while noting that large shareholders (whales) are currently holding back and not accumulating wealth.

In contrast to the greed surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum is dominated by more fear (FUD). According to the analysis firm, this could create a “sneaky buying opportunity” for Ethereum if Bitcoin maintains its current levels.
