Crypto Quant, an analytical platform, has pointed out a significant change in the Bitcoin (BTC) market sentiment, highlighting the transition from the Fear & Greed Index’s ‘Optimism Stage’ to the ‘Euphoria Stage.’

The Simple Moving Average 30 (SMA 30) is used by Crypto Quant to show the sentiments of investors in the market. This index is based on the concept that is used in the ‘Psychology of a Market Cycle’ which focuses on distinct phases of investors.

In the past, when Bitcoin index entered the ‘Optimism Stage’, a new rally occurs. This phase is characterized by high confidence among investors, which in turn leads to the buying frenzy. This stage usually precedes an upward trend in Bitcoin prices especially to the previous support level or even beyond. During this phase, the Bitcoin prices are generally observed to increase significantly in the market.

Potential Bitcoin Market Volatility

However there are concerns that may arise from optimism and they include; In the “Euphoria Stage,” the market becomes overly optimistic when Bitcoin shifts to this new stage.

The next few weeks are critical for future trends in the market to be either established or unestablished depending on which side you are on.

As of press time, BTC is trading at $91,182, showing a 2.69% increase over the past day.

Optimism Stage Implications

The implication of the Optimism Stage is that there are both advantages and disadvantages associated with it as well. If investors are able to identify some aspects that suggest that the market has entered in the Euphoria Stage then they should be able to make sound investment decisions.

In that case, a correction might be made soon after, in order to reestablish some balance. On the other hand, if the Optimism Stage continues, it may lead to growth of the BTC. In the upcoming weeks, the general trend will determine whether BTC is ready to start its next surge.
