Bitcoin FOMO Starting To Peak As BTC Witnesses Massive Spike in Profit-Taking Transactions: Santiment
A prominent analytics firm says FOMO (fear of missing out)-driven crypto investors are diving head first into Bitcoin just as crypto traders unload their BTC stacks.
Santiment says on the social media platform X that Bitcoin’s rise of close to $90,000 in the last few days has rekindled the optimism of BTC holders.
According to the analytics firm, FOMO for BTC is starting to peak as market participants anticipate a potential Bitcoin surge to a six-figure price level.
“Bitcoin’s rise has been so rapid that traders are now speculating how quickly we see a $100,000 market value. Though this price was beyond comprehension just two-three months ago, the community has quickly changed its tune after a +70% surge since the August 5th crash.”

“Bitcoin is seeing a massive spike in profit-taking transactions as traders attempt to sell at the top. Meanwhile, funding rates on Binance and Bitmex indicate aggressive margin and leverage longs looking to capitalize on further rises.”

“In the past year, whale and shark wallets with at least 10 BTC have accumulated a total of 234,150 (now worth $19.76B).
Cryptocurrency’s ascension can largely be attributed to the continued confidence and accumulation of these large key stakeholders. However, the crowd’s consistent FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), capitulation, and inconsistent faith in crypto (allowing whales to buy cheap) have also contributed to this historic run.
Currently, euphoria is high (though not nearly at the levels of mid-March when Bitcoin was in its previous all-time high cycle). Expect that prices can climb as long as whales continue buying more and the retail crowd keeps selling them their cheap coins during small dips.”
