Amid ongoing fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, a recent survey by CoinGecko delved into the sentiments of individuals entrenched in this tumultuous space to reveal their outlooks.
Conducted between June 25 and July 8, the survey gathered responses from over 2,500 participants, predominantly involved in cryptocurrencies through investments or professional engagements.
Released on July 10, the results offer a nuanced glimpse into the emotions of cryptocurrency users, demonstrating a nearly even split in market sentiment.

Divergent Sentiments: Optimistic vs. Pessimistic Views
The survey unveiled that 49.3% of respondents possess a bullish perspective on the future value of cryptocurrencies, foreseeing further growth and potential gains ahead.
In contrast, around a quarter of participants remain pessimistic, split between being extremely bearish and mildly inclined towards a bearish outlook.
Notably, over a quarter of participants exhibited neutral or uncertain sentiments, refraining from adopting a clear bullish or bearish stance.
This inclination towards neutrality may signify a cautious attitude among many users, possibly awaiting clearer market signals before making decisive judgments.
According to CoinGecko research analyst Lim Yu Qian, this widespread neutrality could indicate participants’ uncertainty about Bitcoin’s trajectory or a “wait-and-see” approach as they anticipate clearer market trends.
Furthermore, dissecting responses based on participant types revealed that observers—individuals not actively investing or operating in the sector—expressed higher levels of bearish sentiment, with 2 out of 5 leaning towards a pessimistic outlook.
Conversely, the most optimistic respondents were experienced cryptocurrency investors, hinting at a positive correlation between increased exposure and a favorable perception of price trends due to their deeper understanding of market dynamics.
Similarly, industry insiders working in the cryptocurrency realm exhibited a positive outlook, underscoring their unwavering faith in the sector’s potential growth despite ongoing market challenges.
Current Market Rebound
While a mix of sentiments indicates a market at a crossroads, balancing both enthusiasm and caution, recent developments have defied expectations.
Despite the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the market’s recent performance has been contrary to bullish predictions.
Although the global cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery, with an almost 1% increase over the past day and a valuation surpassing $2.2 trillion, this rebound follows a significant drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices last week.
Bitcoin plummeted to $53,000 last Friday, its lowest since February, while Ethereum sank to $2,847. However, both assets have since recovered, with BTC surpassing $58,000 and ETH trading at $3,175 at present.
