The United States equities markets made a strong recovery this week but Bitcoin (BTC) failed to follow suit.

These fears could be what is behind the total crypto market capitalization dropping to nearly $1 trillion.
The behavior analytics platform Santiment said in a report on March 5 that there was a “huge spike of bearish sentiment,” according to their bullish versus bearish word comparison Social Trends chart. However, the firm added that the “kind of overwhelmingly bearish sentiment can lead to a nice bounce to silence the critics.”
