The social sentiment surrounding Bitcoin (BTC) has swung to its most bullish level in four months as the asset surged past the $80,000 mark earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

This is according to data shared by Santiment on May 7, with the shift reflecting a market that has quickly moved from fear to optimism after weeks where BTC\u2019s price was weighed down by macro uncertainty and crypto-related security concerns.<\/p>\n

Traders Turn Optimistic as Bitcoin Rebounds<\/h2>\n

Now, retail traders are once again piling into bullish calls across social media, with Santiment\u2019s data capturing<\/a> this through its Positive\/Negative Sentiment metric, which runs posts and threads from major platforms through a machine-learning model to separate bullish from bearish commentary and calculate the ratio between them.<\/p>\n

At 1.37, the current reading is at its highest since early January, when the market was coming off a strong end to 2025.\u00a0Back in mid-April, sentiment had done the opposite, collapsing deep into bearish territory in the wake of the KelpDAO exploit.<\/p>\n

Santiment noted at the time that the widespread panic was actually a healthier environment for a rebound, as it cleared out less committed holders.<\/p>\n

That rebound came<\/a>, and with optimism now back near multi-month highs, the firm is highlighting the other side of that dynamic.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs fear disappears and FOMO rapidly takes over social media discussions, traders often enter positions late into rallies,\u201d Santiment wrote, \u201cincreasing the probability of local tops, profit-taking, and sudden volatility.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The firm was direct that this does not mean the rally is finished, but that the risk profile is meaningfully higher now than it was a few weeks ago, when most of the crowd was still panicking.<\/p>\n

What the Data Needs to Confirm a Bottom<\/h2>\n

On the price side, Bitcoin was trading at around $81,000 at the time of writing, up by about 7.5% over the past seven days and 18% in the last month.<\/p>\n

It briefly tapped<\/a> $82,000 on May 6, marking a new three-month peak before pulling back slightly, with the 24-hour range having sat between approximately $80,800 and $82,800 per CoinGecko.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone is treating the price recovery as a clean setup. Analysts at Bitfinex described<\/a> the rally to $80,000 as misleading and argued that the market is not positioned for upside movement.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some traders are closely watching whether BTC can reclaim higher realized price bands tied to underwater holders from late 2025 and early 2026.<\/p>\n

According to market commentator IT Tech, Bitcoin needs to break<\/a> above roughly $89,000 and hold that level before a durable bottom can be confirmed.<\/p>\n

The analyst pointed to several realized price zones between $89,000 and $112,000 where trapped buyers may look to exit positions once prices recover.<\/p>\n
