Everyone’s suddenly bearish on crypto this week – here’s why.

The sentiment flipped fast. Just days ago, people were shouting “bull run,” and now all I see is bearish chatter. So what actually changed?

1. Profit-taking. After Bitcoin and Ethereum hit new highs, major players started cashing out. That set off a chain of liquidations, especially in $ETH

, where leveraged longs were already stretched thin. Once the cracks appeared, fear spread and sentiment shifted overnight.

2. ETF delays. The SEC pushing back decisions on ETFs added more uncertainty. Whenever regulators stall, traders hesitate — uncertainty makes people pull back risk.

3. Weak charts. $BTC

got stuck at resistance, ETH struggled under pressure, and momentum fizzled. When short-term momentum slows, traders flip bearish quickly. It’s less about fundamentals right now and more about psychology — fear moves faster than greed.

My take: In the short term, there’s room for more downside if whales keep selling and liquidations pile up. But in the bigger picture, nothing’s broken. Demand for BTC and ETH is still strong. This looks like a cooldown, not a crash.

If you’re trading short-term, play it safe and avoid over-leverage. If you’re a long-term holder, tune out the noise. These dips are just part of the journey.
