Search queries for the term «cryptocurrency» on Google have dropped to near a yearly low, currently standing at 27 out of 100.

The lowest recorded level was 25 at the end of April, coinciding with Bitcoin’s decline to $76,000, which was a reaction to the new import tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.

The ongoing disinterest among market participants may be remnants of the crash on October 10-11, which resulted in liquidations totaling a record $19 billion.

Trader Mario Naufal noted a significant lack of interest in cryptocurrencies from retail investors.

The Fear and Greed Index has remained in the extreme range for over two weeks, with a current score of 24 points.

Analyst known as Darkfost remarked that «investor sentiment has shifted bearish.»

He highlighted that such trends often precede a market reversal, a pattern observed during July to October 2024 and February to April 2025.

This prevailing «bearish consensus» began to take shape in November. Darkfost pointed out that these phases can be prolonged, particularly in an established downtrend.

«While this indicator suggests a more bullish outlook, it is crucial to maintain caution and patience in the context of prolonged declines,» he added.

On-chain analyst operating under the nickname Woominkyu has suggested the possibility of Bitcoin entering a bearish phase.
