BTC Sentiment Poll for May

[Just Say]

Bitcoin price has been improving steadily since April, and this May, the price of Bitcoin has shown signs of further improvement. The current price is now at $79.8K, but in this first week, Bitcoin touched $80.7K. Although we have already seen a slight decline, the price of Bitcoin will again move towards $90K. We will see the impact of this improvement at any time, but right now the price of Bitcoin is moving towards its highest record. However, we can definitely see it moving towards the highest high in the meantime.

The price of Bitcoin has been on an upward trend since the end of April 2026 and we saw that Bitcoin crossed the $80K range in May of this year. However, if you look at the recent price increase, it seems that the price of this currency seems to be consistent with the possibility of being above $80K this May. At the moment, it can be said without a doubt that BTC has crossed $81K and this jump has occurred in the context of increasing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz because due to its effect, we can see that the global economy has been affected, including the increase in prices, as a result of which many are now leaning towards Bitcoin the most, so it may already be moving towards its highest peak.

But it looks like the sentiment is really good rn.  I hope the price action now continues for a couple more months.  I guess we could say that we deserve it after months of waiting,.   

Stay safe out there guys.

If you follow ETF flows, you will see that capital inflows have been positive since the beginning of May until now. Moreover, in the past two month, ETFs have attracted an additional $3.29 billion, bringing the total cumulative net inflows to $58.72 billion.

You are right, big investors are starting to buy despite geopolitical tensions. Market sentiment is currently very positive, so we can fully expect Bitcoin to continue rising, at least this month. If this trend continues and is sustained, we may even see a strong and prolonged price increase.

The current way Bitcoin is moving right now, I believe that it's much more stable than it be driven by hype, and that is a very good sign. So now holding your Bitcoin above 80k will no longer sound crazy, most especially since the price of Bitcoin is not crashing hard again each time there is a small rise like before. So now it actually feels more like the market is getting very strong bit by bit.

I also believe that the bigger boys is actually purchasing Bitcoin, but they are doing it in a low profile. It is not the kind of buying that make sudden spikes immediately, instead, it is more like a gradual accumulation overtime. That normally results in more consistent growth instead of rapid pumps and dumping.

The other factor is that the regular users (retail) do not seem to be too excited yet and that in fact contributes towards the continuation of the trend. When everyone is over hyped that is when things are likely to vary. I am personally leaning towards bullish. As long as Bitcoin keeps on riding in this direction I think it is quite possible to be above 80k at the end of the month. And as of now that I'm writing this the price is above 80k, so I am voting YES.

[As-Soon-As]

This May, the Bitcoin price is seeing a new level, with the Bitcoin price performing above the $80K range most of the time. At this moment, the Bitcoin price will see more improvement. The Bitcoin price will skyrocket throughout this May and will move towards the goal of touching $100K. Gradually, the improvement in the Bitcoin price will attract more investors, and some people will regret why they were deprived of Bitcoin investment.
That is why the improvement in the Bitcoin price in the current position will definitely create a strong range in the next month. So the Bitcoin price will improve more this May.

[Leahized]

April ended being a good month again...  Nice!  If I were to vote in this poll, I'd def vote that BTC would stay above 80k at the end of the month.

But what do you guys think?  And what do you guys think is causing the uptrend?  Are the big guys finally starting to buy?

Compared to April, the situation is much better now. I can't say for sure, what kind of change may come in Bitcoin's next bullish run. Since Bitcoin is making a green candle in the meantime, I think $80k has strong support. Although repeated efforts were made to break the support but ultimately failed. But for changes in the market, the politically it has had an impact as there is now a much calmer situation. However I would like to see $100k.

I think the big whales are entering the market. The Bitcoin market has been going through a period of volatility since last October but this volatility cannot last for long. There will be a positive change in the market and that change has started. The price is currently crossing around $81k and the bull run will begin.

It is wrong to expect a long term bear market, and it may not be right to expect a long-term bull market. The Bitcoin market is characterized by always fluctuating prices. So I think after this long term price volatility, a natural bullish period is starting.

That is what I hope that will happens for a couple more months. But I also prepare for bad things that may happens. As we know that after reaching high price, Bitcoin price usually will be back to the low price or having correction temporary. I just don't know how deep the price that will coming.

But as you and others, I gives my optimist to the rest of this year and hopefully that will become reality. So I voted for Yes and maybe if the price can increase up to $82k, I will take some profits

[retreat]

But what do you guys think?  And what do you guys think is causing the uptrend?  Are the big guys finally starting to buy?

I see a chance for Bitcoin's price to remain above $80k USD by the end of this month, given that investors are starting to re-invest in Bitcoin and institutions are starting to accumulate it. This could be a positive for the price. While a correction is possible, I don't believe a major one will occur, it might just be a healthy pullback, and then the trend will resume. It's possible it could reach $85k-$90k USD if nothing disrupts the momentum.

Smiles , the market speculations is full of sentiments with everyone having different anxieties over the market attributes.
You may be appreciating the markets compositions at a range of the $80,000 maybe because there's an insight of price recovery and it's been a while we tested $80,000 since after the late January when the early rally was encountered catching up over $84,000.
Since then the charts had been proving resistance while the market has also been proving consolidation breakout that optimises analysts to assume we're in the bullish while we still sees the resistance.
So considering the past events that within the period indeed April ended with price trading within $79,000 to $81,000 in the month of May. With the impression I'm seeing bitcoin price to break the $84,000 resistance of January in this month of May.

But what do you guys think?  And what do you guys think is causing the uptrend?  Are the big guys finally starting to buy?

The bitcoin price doesn't move without any force behind and the notable forces that can manipulate price like that is the market activities of those whalers and the institutional investors.

It could ever reach for more figures, because looking at the news spreading there are so many positive things happen which can potentially help Bitcoin to get more demands.

Many institutional investors continue buying, then here we are seeing lots of Bitcoin strategic reserve discussions again and this provably a good hint for us that there's something more better situation will came on Bitcoin until end of this month. But let's look at what will happen in next following days since if the pump will continue as early as know we provably could see more fir this month.

It's NOT only those ETF flows, it's also Chad Saylor purchasing large amounts of Bitcoin. Is he actually breaking the Four-Year-Cycle?

  👀

Plus is it actually POSSIBLE to break the Four-Year-Cycle? THEN it would probably be the season the buy every DIP, no? Take every opportunity to purchase Bitcoin at every discount given to us plebs.

[Felicity_Tide]

But what do you guys think? And what do you guys think is causing the uptrend?  Are the big guys finally starting to buy?

The overall performance in April was really strong.
It showed a gradual and progressive price recovery from the massive decline of the past few months. I'm not 100% certain, but I feel this might just be it. It's already $81K as of now, and it's looking like $82K might come soon before the day runs out_(hopefully). And as for the possible cause, I haven't really come across any concrete news. The few news I have seen aren't really worth the uptrend, although some of them might worth it because they involve a massive purchase of Bitcoin.

Yes, we have seen that April went very well and the Bitcoin market did not disappoint much. However, many people became more optimistic after seeing the price of Bitcoin at the beginning of May, and Bitcoin may go up even further. At the beginning of this month, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $80k, which looks really attractive. We can expect that the price of Bitcoin will touch $90k within this month. From this great situation in the market, most investors are now planning to buy because the way the market is growing, it will go up very soon. Moreover, those who planned to invest and did not buy from a lower price may now be more interested in buying. However, from such a great situation in the market, we can definitely expect the price of Bitcoin to be in a good position within this month.

[Mrbluntzy]

Based on the market trend which started last month, Bitcoin is still going to be bullish this month with the price reaching at least $88k or $90k, the previous months have been bearish and now I think they price is on a correctional move which will last through this month and probably even next month. I vote that price will stay above $80k this month.

April ended on a positive note and May started even on a greener note. As it stands now, I no longer know if we are in the bear market or the whole market situation has changed. Who knows if we have joined the super cycle that CZ talked about. I am just surprised that people are predicting $200k and above while we are in the bear market.

The market is becoming more dynamic... I have read that this is a bear trap, that the market will move to $85k and later retrace to the region of $48 or so. I have seen many analysis and I no longer know what to follow

Who knows if we have joined the super cycle that CZ talked about. I am just surprised that people are predicting $200k and above while we are in the bear market.

It's true that last April there were signs of market movement improving as the market held steady at around $70. This means that the price signals over time in April are now becoming more realistic hovering above $80. This shows that sometimes predictions can be correct but we shouldn't be too sure as the market can change over time. Hopefully what CZ said will be good news for everyone participating in the Bitcoin forum. When the market price dropped yesterday many waited and held back avoiding being surprised or panicking when the market price dropped before April. This is one way to benefit those who had been holding back from selling at the price level which caused many to sell yesterday due to panic.

Anything can happen and some predict that the price won't drop below $50 again. This is based on threads I've seen on various social media platforms which suggest the $85 price will remain stable for several months. We'll just have to wait and see if these predictions are just a fluke or turn out to be the reality predicted by many analysts.

[knowngunman]

It already hit 80k a few minutes before I started the poll.  And that's exactly why the poll asks if 80k holds until the end of the month or if it's a fake out.

But it looks like the sentiment is really good rn.  I hope the price action now continues for a couple more months.  I guess we could say that we deserve it after months of waiting,.   

Stay safe out there guys.

More than deserve in my opinion. I have just cast my vote in support 

Sentiment aside, the month of May is one of the best performing months for bitcoin after October and November on average. It seems this year's May will keep flowing from all indications. April wasn't a bad month after showing a great resistance amidst the unending middle East crisis.

We enter May with strong positivity and I have no reason to vote otherwise. We may not see a rapid move as some of us anticipate but I'm confident we'll hold on to $80k or slightly be above it.

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

Based on the market trend which started last month, Bitcoin is still going to be bullish this month with the price reaching at least $88k or $90k, the previous months have been bearish and now I think they price is on a correctional move which will last through this month and probably even next month. I vote that price will stay above $80k this month.

Do not be deceived by the little greens lately cause this ain't the bull season yet, it's kinda very tough to predict the market lately cause there's been lots of changes so I don't know why you're very confident that the price would stay above the figure you mentioned, well it's just a speculative statement and you might be right.
 Well May has mostly been a positive month in the history of Bitcoin atleast that's one thing that haven't totally changed yet but I won't be suprised if the market does otherwise towards month end since it's still the bear season.

[Nathrixxx]

This month of May could be bullish to an extent, but we should not expect it to have a breakout up to $100,000 market price, in addition to this, it is important that we also watch out to see the current move not being deceitful on the market to make us have the impression of bull when the actual direction is bearish, this is what the often call bull trap and I believe this is not going to be the case of what we are going to have, everyone should speculate the market and see how the pattern is going before any conclusion is being made to the market direction this month.

[blomen]

it looks bullish to me too, but i voted for no. right now, we are having the longest upper trend in bitcoin history in a bear season. look at the image you shared.

if we’re talking about corrections during a bear market, this is truly a major one. but my main thought is that bitcoin will spend some time around the $60,000 level, where it just dipped briefly. i realize we seem far from that right now, but anything can happen in an instant.

in percentage terms, going from $60,000 to $82,000 isn’t the biggest rally during bear markets, but it’s been the longest. i just think every move is taking a bit longer. the bear market is over. come to think of it, the bull market lasted longer than previous ones, even if it wasn’t as impactful. actually, i thought we’d see a decline as early as april, but this correction has really dragged on.
