Analyst Insights

Cryptocurrency analyst Elja Boom highlighted a "peak" bearish sentiment in the market, drawing parallels between this September and previous years, indicating that such conditions often signal a market bottom.

Rekt Capital, another analyst, noted that Bitcoin’s 8% decline this September aligns with historical trends observed in previous years.
