Bitcoin has continued its downward trend after a slight rebound toward the $115,000 price mark. The current bearish pressure has caused the flagship digital asset to drop to $112,000, triggering speculation about a possible deeper decline<\/a> in the short term. However, despite the heightened bearish pressure on prices, some key metrics are beginning to exhibit a bullish trend.<\/p>\n

A Shift In Bitcoin Market Mood<\/h2>\n

Amid the ongoing waning price action of Bitcoin<\/a>, key metrics are signaling underlying momentum in the market. Meanwhile, Darkfost, an on-chain analyst and author, has outlined<\/a> a shift in BTC market mood in a recent post on the X platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After investigating the Bitcoin Futures Composite Sentiment Index on the 1-hour time frame, the expert revealed that the metric has flipped back into positive territory. Specifically, this indicator represents the sentiment of the derivatives markets in the very short term based on the 1-hour time frame.<\/p>\n

In addition, it relies on multiple datasets, such as net taker, open interest<\/a>, and long\/short volumes, to derive an index reflecting trader sentiment and behavior. Following a short period of cautious positioning and muted momentum, new inflows and increased open interest have given derivatives activity a boost of confidence.<\/p>\n

According to the on-chain expert, the key index has turned positive again after 5 days of trending in the negative territory. This shift in traders\u2019 outlook indicates that Bitcoin futures markets are showing signs of renewed optimism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin\"<\/p>\n

Darkfost highlighted that since derivatives markets account for a considerably larger portion of trading volumes than spot and Exchange-Traded-Funds (ETFs)<\/a>, it is imperative to comprehend trader mood. While highlighting the importance of investor behavior, the expert noted that the market is currently in a configuration likely similar to early August.<\/p>\n

During the period, the metric dropped below -1 before rebounding into positive territory and pushing BTC\u2019s price. Meanwhile, the ratio has turned positive again after hitting -0.7 on Thursday, indicating a moment of stress and general pessimism. While it is likely to mirror the results from early August, Darkfost stated that this trend must follow the same path, which will be determined in the short term.<\/p>\n

BTC Market Momentum Subsiding<\/h2>\n

As Bitcoin\u2019s price drops, its market momentum<\/a> appears to be subsiding, as observed in the CryptoQuant Bull Score Index. Julio Moreno, the head of research at CryptoQuant, reported<\/a> that the metric has made a notable shift, moving from the \u201cBullish Cooldown\u201d zone into a \u201cNeutral\u201d phase.<\/p>\n

Data shared by the research head shows that the metric fell from 70 to 50. A shift in the index into a neutral zone leaves BTC in a wait-and-see position. The expert outlined that further index softening suggests that the price may drop<\/a>, which is important for risk management.<\/p>\n
