Bitcoin Bearish Chatter Hits 5-Week High Near $67,000
Bearish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin surged to a five-week high on April 5, 2026, as the asset’s price consolidated near the $67,000 mark, signaling potential for increased market volatility.
"There is a lot of FUD and bearish chatter that has accumulated as Bitcoin has ranged around $67K," market intelligence platform Santiment said in a report. "This is the highest amount of bearish commentary in 5 weeks."
The elevated bearish sentiment comes after a week of choppy price action that saw Bitcoin retrace from its all-time high above $73,000 set in March. Data from Coinglass shows that open interest in Bitcoin futures has remained high, suggesting that while sentiment is bearish, capital has not yet fled the market. Funding rates on major exchanges have cooled, indicating a reduction in leveraged long positions.
Historically, extreme levels of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) have preceded market bottoms, acting as a contrarian indicator. A wave of short liquidations could trigger a sharp rebound if the price moves against the prevailing narrative. The next key resistance for Bitcoin is the $70,000 psychological level, while support remains around $65,000.
