On-chain analytics firm Santiment speaks on the essence of the $50K support as expectations for a fresh rally mount.
🥳 With #Bitcoin back over $51k, the sentiment from traders has shifted back into positive range. As expected, $50k has become somewhat of a psychological support level, where traders become optimistic when above this threshold, & skeptical when below. https://t.co/HLuy1TbDdH pic.twitter.com/R58ZXNIvjS

”Fear” gradually vanishes
The Crypto Fear and Greed index reflects improving market sentiment. At press time, the index measures 41/100. Although still characterizing “fear,” this represents a significant rebound from last week’s ”extreme fear.”
According to IntoTheblock ”in/out of money,” 74.31% of Bitcoin holders are in the money at the current price of $50,975. The $51,260 to $54,300 range constitutes the next significant barrier for Bitcoin to cross ahead before retesting the $60K mark.
More Shiba Inu holders are in the money according to on-chain signals from IntoTheBlock analytics following the latest rise. Presently, 59% of Shiba Inu holders are in profit. The next significant barrier will be seen in the $0.000041 to $0.000044 range.
