Despite significant price fluctuations and reaching new historic highs, Bitcoin saw lower public interest in 2025 than in the previous year.

Price growth is not enough: investors remain cautious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The decline in public interest was also reflected in overall sentiment. According to data from Santiment, comments on social media became increasingly bearish in mid-January 2026, even though the price of Bitcoin rose from around $90,000 to $97,500 at that time. In addition, the Fear & Greed Index remained in the fear and extreme fear ranges for most of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, technical indicators show some signs of improvement. Data from CryptoQuant shows that the short-term 30-day average of the Fear & Greed Index has surpassed the 90-day average, suggesting that short-term confidence is beginning to outweigh long-term caution. However, overall sentiment remains negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Bitcoin whales increase selling pressure on the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New large Bitcoin holders are playing a significant role in current developments. Analyst MorenoDV from CryptoQuant<\/a> points out that whales<\/a> with holdings of over 1,000 BTC and UTXO ages of less than 155 days now control a larger portion of realized capitalization than long-term investors. Their average purchase price of around $98,000 means that at current prices, they hold approximately $6 billion in unrealized losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selling pressure is also increasing on exchanges, where the exchange whale ratio is in the range of 0.52-0.55, indicating a high proportion of large transactions associated with selling. The technical structure of the market confirms this development, as Bitcoin<\/a> is trading below key daily and weekly moving averages. According to analysts, the scenario of a return to the $85,000\u201386,000 range remains in play if Bitcoin fails to regain the $95,000\u201398,000 range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
