Despite the end of the longest US government shutdown, a significant portion of cryptocurrency investors remain unconvinced of an imminent market rebound, signaling persistent caution. Investor Sentiment Remains Fearful A recent survey conducted by cryptonewsterminal and Kratos reveals that investor sentiment leans towards fear. Nearly 60% of respondents expressed feeling fearful or extremely fearful about the market. Only a small fraction, less than 17%, showed optimism. Bitcoin Price Predictions Skew Negative The outlook for Bitcoin's price movement in the coming week is also bearish. Over 43% of those surveyed anticipate a decline or crash, while just over 20% foresee an increase. This indicates a prevailing sense of uncertainty among investors. Shutdown End Not a Catalyst Interestingly, a majority (51.4%) of respondents believe that the US government shutdown's conclusion will not trigger a cryptocurrency market rebound. This suggests that other factors, such as regulatory concerns and overall market maturity, are playing a more significant role in shaping investor expectations. The survey highlights the complex factors influencing the cryptocurrency market beyond just macroeconomic events. ```
