Bearish Market Sentiment
This week has seen a significant downturn in cryptocurrency sentiment, marking the lowest levels of market activity since 2022. Price drops and liquidations have contributed to a general sense of fear, with some investors feeling the pinch of volatile conditions reminiscent of past market crises. For example, Bitcoin fell dramatically over the weekend, while Ether saw one of its most significant declines in months. Despite the bearish trend, some analysts remain cautiously optimistic, questioning whether this is a mere pullback or the end of a bull market.
