  • Despite Bitcoin holding above $90,000, this sentiment is decreasing, raising concerns about the rally’s longevity.
  • Bitcoin dominance remains high, ETF inflows are strong, and the altcoin season is weak.

Despite Bitcoin trading between $91,800 and $94,304 recently, the “Greed” sentiment is cooling, dropping to 60 on April 25th.

Several analysts express caution, including Markus Thielen of 10x Research, who cites lagging stablecoin activity as a cause for concern regarding the rally’s sustainability.

Bitfinex analysts, while acknowledging Bitcoin’s relative strength against US equities, remain unconvinced of its long-term structural soundness.

Conversely, some, like Michaël van de Poppe of MN Trading Capital, are more optimistic, predicting continued growth toward new all-time highs.
