What it means: In the short term, this is a bearish signal for Bitcoin, as institutional models often precede sentiment reversals among retail investors. The post from December 18 coincided with a weekly 7% drop in Bitcoin to $85 452.

2. @santimentfeed: FOMO among retail investors around $110 000

“Second largest FOMO spike in 2 weeks amid BTC rebound to $108 000”

What it means: A neutral-bearish signal for Bitcoin. Santiment notes that retail investors often buy at peaks, leading to corrections — as seen in June with a 10% drop after a sentiment peak.

3. @chikao_eth: Technical indicators show prolonged weakness

“BTC weak but not dead — RSI 38, price at lower Bollinger band”

What it means: Neutral. Although moving average crossovers indicate bearish control, oversold RSI and declining volumes could lead to a short-term rebound to $88 000–$90 000.

Conclusion

Overall sentiment on Bitcoin is divided: on one hand, retail investors hope for a breakthrough to $110 000, on the other hand, institutional models signal market fatigue. Watch the support zone $84 000–$86 000 closely — a breakdown could trigger automatic sell-offs aiming for $80 000, while holding support may attract buyers on dips in anticipation of ETF inflows in the first quarter of 2026. As Market Prophit's divergence data shows, when the crowd moves in one direction, the market often moves in the opposite.
