Search queries for the term «cryptocurrency» on Google have approached an annual low, currently standing at 27 out of 100.

Trader Mario Naufal highlighted the near-complete lack of interest in cryptocurrencies from retail investors.

Analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost noted that «investors’ consensus has shifted towards a bearish outlook.»

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

The current «bearish consensus» began to take shape in November. Darkfost indicated that these phases can be prolonged, especially amid a pronounced downtrend.

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

It’s worth noting that on-chain analyst known as Woominkyu has suggested the possibility of Bitcoin entering a bearish phase.

Despite widespread pessimism, several experts anticipate new highs for cryptocurrency in the upcoming year.
