Here’s What Needs to Change for Bitcoin to Reach $110K: Santiment

Bitcoin’s price actions took a turn for the better over the past few days, and the asset even came close to $100,000 yesterday evening as the crowd became highly bullish again. However, it was stopped there and pushed south by a few grand amid reports of a growing number of investors realizing profits. What Needs to Change The analytics company Santiment has frequently reasserted the importance of the overall crowd expectations for the underlying asset’s prices. But, what happens is usually the opposite of the general anticipation. The developments in the past 48 hours have only solidified their theory. BTC’s price went from around $94,000 on Christmas Eve to just shy of $100,000 yesterday evening, but its rally was halted at that point, and the asset is back to $98,000 now. Santiment indicated that “traders are now swinging bullish once again, with speculations of $110K getting rampant.” Although this might sound bullish for bitcoin at first, the company reaffirmed its belief that the cryptocurrency tends to oppose what the majority expects by saying, “Historically, we will see $100K Bitcoin only after the crowd doesn’t expect it.” ‍ Bitcoin has jumped to as high as $99.8K on a bullish Christmas crypto performance.

He noted that 1.51 million wallets have spent nearly $150 billion to turn that level into support now. Usually, when new investors see their positions go into red, they tend to start panic selling, which is why it’s important for BTC to remain above $97,300.
