Notably, the alarming possibility of an XRP 'death cross' event may be in the offing, which could have a profound impact on the asset's price trends.

Social Sentiment 22:00, 05 Nov 2025

Is Bitcoin’s price dip a ‘buy signal’ for long-term BTC investors?

Investors are becoming increasingly anxious about Bitcoin's recent market activity. The sentiment around Bitcoin (BTC) has been notably bearish, with the cryptocurrency's social sentiment reaching its third most negative level in the past six months. This pessimism seems disproportionate when considering that Bitcoin's fundamentals and on-chain data have not shown any significant signs of weakness. In fact, Bitcoin's valuation has remained close to historical relative lows compared to tech giants such as Apple and NVIDIA, which could point towards potential buying opportunities rather than cause for alarm.

Bitcoin’s 14% slide mirrors 2022’s bottom, but in reverse! – Here’s why

The recent drop in Bitcoin's price has not incited panic selling among investors. Despite a 14% fall from its October 6th peak, over 208,000 BTC have been withdrawn from exchanges, suggesting that holders are not offloading their assets but are continuing to accumulate. The market behavior indicates a possible bullish sentiment as the decrease in available circulating supply typically implies that investors are not preparing to sell. This is underscored by data showing a 1.08% reduction in BTC supply on exchanges over the past six months.
