This One Chart Shows Why Bitcoin Investors Are Euphoric (Again!) 🤑

by

If you were hoping for Bitcoin to leap majestically like a caffeinated gazelle, June was disappointing. Bitcoin did its best impersonation of the Discworld’s Great A’Tuin – going precisely nowhere (but with much fuss and fanfare), wobbling in the $108,000 to $110,000 neighborhood. So far, so sideways. And yet, somewhere out there, hopeful investors are seeing bullish shapes in their tea leaves, while on-chain data keeps muttering, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Sentiment: From Gloom to “I Can’t Lose!” 🚀

On July 4—because nothing says financial independence like cryptocurrency—analytics oracle Alphractal announced on X (because “Twitter” isn’t cryptic enough) that Bitcoin investor sentiment was officially “very bullish.” This was determined by something called the Alpha Crypto Sentiment Gauge, which sounds like a device found in the luggage of wizards who pack for all occasions.

The Sentiment Gauge reads the market’s collective mood, ranging from “run for your lives” to “let’s mortgage the house!” It presents these findings with the kind of reassuring color codes school reports used: red for doom, yellow for existential dread, light green for optimism, and dark green for that unshakable confidence usually reserved for soapbox prophets and people who buy lottery tickets in bulk.

Behold, a chart so green even Discworld’s Death would pause for an appraisal. Investors are evidently basking in the “very bullish” afterglow, which can only mean two things: irrational joy, and the possibility of coming disaster – but with great style.

Just a short while ago (in the pre-Green era, 23rd June), Alphractal was warning that the market looked as inviting as a swamp in Ankh-Morpork. Bears were getting cocky. Naturally, the market dealt with that—in the manner of a librarian dealing with loud talkers—by removing them altogether. Bitcoin buyers flooded in, the bears retreated, and somewhere, a chart lit up in a color resembling envy with a sunburn.

Now, lest you think all this emerald exuberance means we’re at the summit—nope. “Green” is just the feeling before things happen, good or cataclysmic. According to Alphractal, it usually means the market is feeling so euphoric someone should really check it for fever. That, or buyers know something the rest of us don’t, in which case: congratulations! Or condolences!

“Red zones don’t last long, but if you want a bargain, that’s when they serve them hot and spicy.”

If history is the unreliable narrator we suspect it to be, these green-fuelled euphoric rushes might precede meteoric gains…or, just as likely, the financial equivalent of a pratfall. Because if you haven’t learned to expect chaos in crypto by now, you’re probably new here.

So: will Bitcoin surge skyward or stop to tie its shoelaces? Nobody knows. Anyone who says they do is probably selling T-shirts.

Elsewhere on the Rollercoaster… 🎢

In Thursday’s opening, Bitcoin declared itself king, then promptly lost nearly 2% of its value in a day. As the digital dust settles, it’s currently gazing at the horizon from $107,754. Hold on to your hats (or wizard’s staff, if applicable): this farce is far from over.
