Bitcoin’s Rally Could Precede a Correction, Analysts Warn
Bitcoin recently managed to climb back to $66,000, generating enthusiasm among traders.
Santiment noted that the latest increase has significantly impacted altcoins, as many investors have been taking profits following Bitcoin’s rally over the past three weeks.
The firm cautioned that the patience of bullish investors might be tested as overall market sentiment moves past levels of FOMO (fear of missing out) associated with Bitcoin. This trend typically signals the approach of local peaks. They suggested that such a peak could occur as soon as today, over the weekend, or within the next few weeks, depending on the actions of large holders, or whales, at current price levels.
Analysts indicated that the trading community might be gearing up for a price correction as Bitcoin’s value reaches levels associated with greed, particularly around the $63,000 mark. Conversely, if Bitcoin drops to $53,000, it could trigger a shift into the fear zone, potentially opening up more bullish opportunities.

Santiment defined the range between $63,000 and $53,000 as a neutral zone, where market behavior tends to be less predictable.
Interestingly, analysts believe that Bitcoin may not see renewed buying interest if it falls into the $50,000 to $60,000 range, unless significant warning signs emerge from global economies.
