The first major spike in sentiment came in November 2021, followed by the BTC price surge to a new all-time high of $68,789. The second major spike came in July 2022 amid hints from the United States Federal Reserve about possible inflation ease, followed by a minor price surge. While the price rise post-spike in crowd sentiments in July 2022 wasn’t very significant due to marketwide bearish sentiment, traders did buy the dip at $19,000.Related: Bitcoin price rally over $21K prompts analysts to explore where BTC price might go nextThe latest spike in crowd sentiment came after a prolonged winter in 2022.
