Bitcoin (BTC) price hit a trading range high of $66,500 on September 27 for the first time since late July, sparking bullish sentiments from many investors. However, instead of continuing its rally, BTC has dropped below the $64,000 level at press time.
According to blockchain market intelligence platform Santiment, this price movement could be linked to the collective anticipation and commentary among crypto enthusiasts. The platform shares an observation on the matter in a recent tweet.

However, Santiment believes that BTC could still hit the $70,000 mark if “the crowd slows down their own expectations.” The firm also noted that markets historically move in a direction opposite to the crowd’s expectations. This suggests that the market performance could turn bullish if a majority of crypto participants lean towards a bearish outlook on BTC price movement.
