The diversity of market sentiment has been particularly noteworthy in the volatility following the Bitcoin halving. Based on the findings of Coingecko, this article will delve into investor sentiment in the context of a market correction, analyze the possible reasons behind this sentiment, and discuss its potential impact on the future direction of the market.

Half still bullish despite market correction

Two months after Bitcoin’s halving event, sentiment in the cryptocurrency market has shown a clear divergence, failing to form a unified market consensus. A survey conducted by CoinGecko captured this complex sentiment, revealing the different views of market participants on current and future trends.

The survey results show that despite the market's post-halving rally and subsequent correction, nearly half, or 49.3%, of cryptocurrency market participants remain optimistic about the market. Among these optimists, 26.1% of respondents said they were only slightly bullish, meaning they were cautious about the market's positive outlook. More confident bulls accounted for 23.2%, who showed complete confidence in the market's future.

Meanwhile, a quarter of respondents were neutral, neither bullish nor bearish, which could reflect uncertainty in the market or that they were waiting for more market information to form their own views. Among the bears, 25.2% of respondents expressed pessimism about the market, of which 13.4% were only slightly bearish, while the more pessimistic 11.8% were completely bearish, which could be based on their concerns about the depth and duration of the market correction.

Market participants' sentiment is divided

In CoinGecko’s post-halving Bitcoin sentiment survey, market participants with different roles showed completely different emotional tendencies. Among them, the investor group showed the most significant optimism, with 54.1% of investors being bullish and only 20.7% being bearish. This optimism may stem from investors’ confidence in the long-term value of cryptocurrencies, as well as an understanding of the market’s cyclical fluctuations.

Close behind are cryptocurrency builders, those who actively participate in the development and maintenance of blockchain projects. 47.6% of them are bullish, while 31.6% are bearish. This shows that despite the uncertainty in the market, builders still have a positive view on the development prospects of cryptocurrency technology.

In contrast, trader sentiment appears more cautious and divided, with 39.0% of traders bullish and 33.5% bearish. This sentiment reflects traders' sensitivity to market volatility and their weighing of risk in their trading decisions.

The most pessimistic group is the bystander group, of which only 28.5% are bullish, while as many as 42.4% are bearish. This may indicate that for those bystanders who have not yet participated deeply in the market, the volatility and uncertainty of the market have made them more cautious and even worried.

The CoinGecko survey was conducted from June 25 to July 8, 2024, and collected responses from 2,558 cryptocurrency participants. It should be emphasized that this research is for reference only and does not constitute any financial advice.

In addition, the fluctuations in market sentiment are also directly reflected through the Fear and Greed Index. As recently as July 4, market sentiment was at a high of 72 points, indicating a state of "greed". However, as of the time of writing this article, the index has dropped sharply to 29 points, reflecting that market sentiment has shifted to "fear". This drastic change in sentiment reminds us that market sentiment is changeable and investors need to consider multiple factors when making decisions and pay close attention to market dynamics. #CoinGecko调查 #加密货币市场 #投资者情绪 #市场回调
