The post Bitcoin Stabilises, Yet Traders Remain Sceptical-Here’s What Next for BTC Price Rally appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin’s bounce from below $60,000 was sharp enough to shift sentiment in the short term, but the follow-through hasn’t been as convincing. After the recovery, the BTC price has moved into a sideways range and continues to struggle around the $70,000 level, failing to secure a sustained breakout despite multiple pushes higher. What’s also noticeable is the drop in trading volume during this consolidation. Momentum has cooled, and participation appears thinner compared to the initial rebound. From a structural standpoint, Bitcoin is holding its gains, but it isn’t expanding either. This raises a fair question: is the Bitcoin price building a base for the next leg higher, or simply pausing after a relief move? ‘Crowd’ Remains in Fear as BTC Price Traders Below $70,000 The relationship between price and sentiment is often cyclical, and the chart clearly highlights that dynamic. As shown in the Santiment chart below, crowd sentiment has slipped back into “extreme fear” territory even after Bitcoin rebounded from the sub-$60,000 lows. While price has stabilised below the $70,000 level, the positive-to-negative sentiment ratio remains heavily skewed toward caution. Historically, the chart shows that spikes in greed, particularly when Bitcoin approached higher levels, often coincided with local tops. In contrast, periods marked by intense fear, such as the recent dip toward $60,000, have tended to appear near short-term bottoms or recovery phases. The green-circled zones reflect moments where fear dominated, yet price eventually rebounded. At present, social volume data indicates bearish discussions outweigh bullish ones, reinforcing the idea that retail traders remain hesitant. This divergence, stabilizing price but lingering fear, suggests disbelief still dominates market psychology, and sentiment may only shift meaningfully if Bitcoin reclaims and sustains levels…
