Bitcoin is Prone to Drop Following Bullish Sentiment Exhaustion: Analyst

According to Michaël van de Poppe, CEO of MN Trading, bullish sentiment for Bitcoin is close to exhaustion, as BTC’s current price has factored in nearly all approaching bullish events. The crypto trading expert believes that, as a result, Bitcoin’s price is more prone to dropping, with any slight bearish event impacting it significantly.

In a recently uploaded video, Poppe noted Bitcoin is embarking on a “harsh correction” that may take weeks to complete before consolidating. He thinks Bitcoin retains its pre-halving momentum but will display heightened dynamism in its price movement in the medium term.

The renowned analyst explained that an altcoin season will accompany Bitcoin’s pullback and consolidation. He thinks an Ethereum rally will dominate the season, associated with impressive runs by other altcoins.

Focusing on Bitcoin’s behavior, Poppe revealed a significant drop in the flagship cryptocurrency’s buying volume amid rallying prices. He noted that this divergence signifies a potential price drop due to increased selling pressure.

Analyzing the impact on altcoins, Poppe observed that Bitcoin dominance is not accelerating despite dropping altcoin prices. He considers that a signal for a potential altcoin rally, noting that it could happen as soon as Bitcoin consolidates.

Ultimately, Poppe highlighted that Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment will resume when the pioneer crypto reclaims the $71,000 level. He recognized the recent ETF inflows as the major factor behind Bitcoin’s achievement of a new all-time high (ATH). He cited the subsequent drop in inflows as the reason behind Bitcoin’s current pullback.

Poppe thinks the ETF narrative will continue longer and determine the market dynamics for most of the current bull cycle. However, he believes this bull cycle will last longer than the previous ones and involve other crucial factors besides the ETFs.
