“Black Monday” Fears Explode, But Bitcoin Price Tops $83K

“Black Monday” Fears Explode, But Bitcoin Price Tops $83K

Bitcoin traders spent much of Sunday discussing a possible “Black Monday,” but BTC itself refused to follow the fear . Santiment data shows mentions of “black monday” reached 176 on October 18, compared with fewer than two mentions per day on average over the previous 60 days. Despite that sudden explosion in bearish discussion, Bitcoin finished Sunday close to $82,000 and gained just under 1% for the day. Today, Bitcoin price broke $83K. That creates an interesting disconnect between price and sentiment heading into Monday.
