The group included 29 institutions and 62 non-institutional participants. What they found marks a clear break from where things stood just months ago.<\/p>\n<p>About 82% of institutional respondents and 70% of non-institutional respondents now classify the current market as a late bear or markdown phase. Back in December, only around one-third held that view. The shift happened fast.<\/p>\n<p>Valuation opinions were just as pointed. Roughly 75% of institutions and 61% of non-institutions said Bitcoin is undervalued at current prices. Very few flagged it as overpriced.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-678521\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?resize=960%2C782\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?w=960 960w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?w=516 516w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?w=810 810w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a_31f4da.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"><\/p>\n<p>Expectations around Bitcoin dominance also changed.
