After plunging below $100,000 this week, Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be losing upside traction, raising the risk that the more ambitious 2025-end targets may not be reached this year.

Despite intense short-term volatility, fresh data suggests that the latest price action is not a structural reversal, but “a sentiment-led pullback within an otherwise intact market trend.”

A Sentiment Crash, Not A Network Crash

A sudden collapse in confidence was first flagged when Bitcoin fell below a crucial support level of $107,000. CryptoQuant explained that the Fear & Greed Index fell to 21, and bullish price targets in the $150,000-$200,000 zone disappeared from social feeds.

Google search interest for Bitcoin also cooled significantly after October, and altcoin sentiment reached -81. The analytics platform stated that in crypto, because the market structure is still immature and liquidity is uneven, sentiment always carries outsized price impact.

However, despite Bitcoin’s brief decline below $100,000 on Tuesday for the first time since June, on-chain data shows no major breakdown.
