“Uptober Bull Run Fades as ‘Selltober’ Trends on Social Media”

Mentions of “Uptober” online have declined since the month’s start, while terms like “Selltober” and “Octobear” are gaining traction on social media, indicating a waning optimism for a bullish market this month..

This trend is backed by data from Santiment, an on-chain analytics platform, which noted that market participants have largely abandoned hopes that this October will replicate its historical reputation as a “money-making machine for crypto.”

Analysts Urge Caution: Uptober May Not Be Over Yet

Despite the current mood, analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that it is “fairly common” for BTC to correct early in October. He anticipates that Bitcoin’s downward trajectory could “reverse next week,” suggesting that any dips in the coming weeks should be viewed as buying opportunities.

Currently, BTC has decreased by over 6% in the last week, trading at $61,330.03 as of 3:29 a.m. EST. Veteran trader “Ash Crypto” informed his 1.1 million followers on X that the price of the leading cryptocurrency could drop further, which might excite bear investors before a significant rally.
