Retail is bidding Bitcoin aggressively ahead of the FOMC\u2014but is this exactly why greed is spiking now?<\/p>\n

Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> traded between $92,700 and $93,000 through the session and held above the 4h EMA Ribbon. That kept the short-term bias<\/a> slightly bullish. Even so, repeated rejections near $94,000 showed hesitation as buyers struggled to gain control at the first supply zone.<\/p>\n

This zone remained a major directional pivot. A clear break above it could have opened room for continuation. By contrast, another rejection reinforced the view that momentum was fading despite retail enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Retail FOMO surge and sentiment shift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to Santiment, mentions of \u201chigher\u201d and \u201cabove\u201d climbed across X, Reddit, and Telegram as Bitcoin recovered from earlier weakness. Retail confidence<\/a> surged as prices flattened, echoing earlier periods where FOMO spiked before corrections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

That mattered because markets often moved opposite to retail positioning. While FOMO strengthened, Bitcoin stalled instead of extending, showing that emotional buyers stepped in late as momentum cooled.<\/p>\n

What the bearish RSI divergence suggests<\/strong><\/h2>\n

RSI Divergence showed lower highs on the indicator while Bitcoin attempted to push higher. That pattern often hinted at weakening strength even when the price held key levels.<\/p>\n

Having said that, buyers continued to react each time RSI dropped into mid-range territory. That response protected the broader structure, but it did not erase the caution implied by momentum signals.<\/p>\n

Could a supply zone tap lift BTC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A decisive move through $96,500 could have invalidated hesitation near $94,000 and opened the path toward a $100,000 reclaim. If buyers gained control there, the upper target near $105,000 might have come back into view.<\/p>\n

Failure to clear the zone kept attention on nearby support. With divergence still in play, losing support would have confirmed that exhaustion outweighed retail optimism at this stage.<\/p>\n

\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Bitcoin’s momentum softened near $94,000, RSI Divergence flashed early warnings, and social sentiment showed traders growing greedy as price stalled.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Until Bitcoin clears its supply zone with conviction, retail-driven optimism remains vulnerable to sharper pullbacks than expected.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
