Bitcoin’s post-halving pullback appears to have divided the crypto community, with investors seen as the most bullish group at the moment. 
Cryptocurrency investors, developers, speculators, and traders seem to be divided with their views on the current market state with “no strong consensus sentiment” prevailing right now, crypto prices aggregator CoinGecko says. 
In a survey conducted from mid-June to July 8, involving 2,558 participants, CoinGecko assessed market sentiment. The largest group of respondents (26.1%) described themselves as “somewhat bullish,” while the smallest group (11.8%) identified as strongly bearish. Overall, nearly 50% of participants leaned bullish despite Bitcoin’s recent price drop below $56,000.

CoinGecko says the neutral sentiment was the “second most common survey response,” suggesting that this might indicate that participants are “waiting for further developments before forming their market view.” Among the group, investors were the most optimistic, with over 54.1% feeling bullish and only 20.7% having bearish sentiments.

Speculators were the most pessimistic, with 28.5% of them feeling bullish compared to 42.4% who were bearish. CoinGecko suggested that this cohort might have taken profits and “exited the market for the time being.”
