You could argue that the cryptocurrency market maintains its confidence despite the Bitcoin price experiencing a significant drop to $94,000. Although price action says otherwise, this confidence is highlighted through various predictions from crypto analysts on social media and on TradingView, which cuts across various cryptocurrencies. Amidst the price decline and market optimism, the Crypto Market Fear and Greed Index continues to point to greed, which leans toward the idea of a momentary dip before a broader recovery. Bitcoin Price Crash Stalls Bullish Momentum The crypto industry has largely exhibited bullish momentum throughout 2024, with many cryptocurrencies reaching new multi-year highs. This momentum was led by Bitcoin, which broke through its 2021 all-time high of $69,000 in the middle of 2024 to eventually break above the $100,000 psychological level for the first time on December 5.

Although it peaked at $108,135 on December 17, the past 12 days or so have been highlighted by price declines. Notably, Bitcoin has corrected as low as $92,600 in the past seven days, essentially leading to a cascade of declines among other cryptocurrencies and stalling the bullish momentum. Bitcoin’s descent has surprised many crypto traders, considering its strong rally in recent months. Analysts attribute this correction to profit-taking by a few long-term holders and a temporary slowdown in market activity.  Crypto Market Sentiment Stays In Greed Despite recent price declines,  HODLing trends suggest that the cryptocurrency market remains on track to sustain its rally into 2025. This sentiment is reflected in the Fear and Greed Index, which continues to hover in the greed zone, signaling confidence among investors. The index is derived from a combination of key metrics, including market volatility, trading volume, social media sentiment, Bitcoin dominance, Google search trends, and surveys. Each component is carefully weighted to gauge the market’s psychological state.

This relays investor confidence across the various market indicators and suggests that traders perceive the dip as a buying opportunity rather than a cause for panic. This greed sentiment is relayed through a few buying trends across notable cryptocurrencies. For example, on-chain data from crypto analytics company Santiment shows that Dogecoin whales have bought over 90 million DOGE tokens in the past 48 hours. With this in mind, analysts are optimistic about a broader market recovery in the coming weeks. Technical indicators point to a rebound led by Bitcoin if it can continue to hold above support levels around $92,000.    At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,400 and is down by 12.8% since it reached $108,135 on December 17. According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, such corrections (between 20% and 30%) are the best thing to always happen to Bitcoin in every bull cycle.
