Bitcoin (BTC) With the weakening in volume, it lingered below $67,000 throughout the weekend. Although altcoins have experienced minor losses, pessimism about the coming week has become extremely strong. So what is the reason for the strong decline expectation in cryptocurrencies? What does the data tell us?
Fall week begins
In cryptocurrencies The coming days are very suitable for a decline. The reason is the news flow. Although Trump announced the April 6 deadline with the hope of a ceasefire, mediation efforts led by Pakistan have not yielded results at this point today. At least it will take some more time for Iran to accept that it is at the negotiating table.
Trump must do something big as of April 6, as he postpones the deadline for the second time. 2 US planes were shot down and the US was able to rescue the pilot from the region at the last minute today. We learned in this week’s address to the nation that the process would be extended, meaning that Trump’s 4-6 week target period has definitely been exceeded and since the deadline has expired, Iran is expected to force the agreement with bigger attacks.
Of course, Iran will not remain idle in this environment. Iran, which has previously announced that it will hit the oil production, water purification and energy infrastructures of the Gulf countries in response to infrastructure attacks, is also likely to give harsh answers.
As tension increases, oil will increase and thus stagflation discussions will also grow. Moreover, since the inflation data coming on Friday will reflect a monthly increase of 1% or maybe even more, the coming days are very suitable for a decline for cryptocurrencies.
Crypto investors expect decline
According to Santiment data, sentiment on social media regarding Bitcoin has reached its highest level since the end of February. Bitcoin generally prices in advance of upcoming big things and calms down when the event happens. As we saw when the Iran war started. Maybe the sensitivity of expectations for the coming days affected the price so much and the expected decline did not occur?
As a matter of fact, Santiment says this is a return signal.
“According to social data on
There has been a long period of stagnation among cryptocurrencies throughout 2026, with social media showing a ratio of just 0.81 bullish comments to 1.00 bearish comments on Saturday, the lowest since February 28.
Remember that markets often move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. “So even if there are ongoing “what if” scenarios (like the Iran war and the Clarity Act) that are currently impacting the market cap, such a high level of FUD is a good sign that the situation may change positively sooner rather than later.”
