Crypto Market Crash: Less Than Half Of All Investors Are Still Bullish

As a seasoned crypto investor with several years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon reading the latest CoinGecko report on investor sentiment towards the market. After all, the recent price performance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has left many of us wanting, especially given that Bitcoin had just concluded its halving.


Based on a recent report from CoinGecko, there’s been a surge in pessimism among crypto investors regarding the market’s price trend. The disappointing performance of Bitcoin and other cryptos during late June and early July left many investors feeling let down.

The subpar showing in Bitcoin’s performance is a significant departure from what some had expected, given that it underwent its halving not long ago. According to CoinGecko’s survey involving 2,558 participants, almost half (49.3%) remained optimistic about the market’s prospects.

CoinGecko Report Reveals Decline In Bullish Sentiment

As a researcher examining current market trends, I can’t help but notice the turbulence we’ve experienced in the financial world lately. It comes as no surprise then that a recent survey conducted by CoinGecko reveals that under fifty percent of crypto investors continue to express optimism regarding their investment decisions.

From June 25 to July 8, 2024, a survey gathered opinions from 2,558 crypto market participants. The results did not reveal a definitive consensus regarding sentiment. Nevertheless, there was a noticeable decrease in bullish sentiment that had prevailed during the first half of the year.

Approximately half of the cryptocurrency investors in our survey remain optimistic, but a significant portion, around 54.8%, express either neutral or bearish sentiments towards their crypto investments. Among these respondents, only about one quarter (23.2%) hold strongly positive views, while nearly one-quarter (26.1%) lean somewhat in favor of the crypto market.

As an analyst, I’ve discovered that approximately a quarter of traders (25.5%) held neutral stances in our recent survey, neither tilting towards bullish nor bearish perspectives. Contrastingly, 25.2% of the respondents expressed bearish views. This bearish cohort could be segmented further: around 11.8% of them exhibited completely bearish sentiments, while an additional 13.4% showed a moderately bearish inclination.

Although the confidence in the market’s continued growth may be decreasing, it’s crucial to recognize that various types of investors are represented in these statistics. Among them are passive observers and short-term traders, who generally don’t exhibit prolonged bullishness towards the market.

Among investors and builders in the crypto market, a positive outlook prevails: 54.1% of investors and 47.6% of builders expressed optimistic feelings. Conversely, 20.7% of investors and 31.6% of builders held bearish sentiments. Investors are typically those who plan to keep their assets for extended periods.

Based on the findings, it is unsurprising that short-term traders and those with no current market engagement held more pessimistic views. Specifically, 39.0% of short-term traders were bullish while 33.5% were bearish. Among spectators, who were not actively participating in the crypto market at the time of the survey, a smaller proportion (28.5%) held bullish sentiments, whereas 42.4% expressed bearishness.

As I pen down this analysis, the crypto market is exhibiting signs of revival, registering a 2.98% surge within the last 24 hours. Anticipation among investors is palpable, as they prepare for what could potentially be an uptrend-laden week for Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
