Traders were pretty bearish last year—tariffs and policy uncertainty had everyone cutting their forecasts. Fast forward to now, and the latest data paints a different picture. Market anxiety around those headwinds? Mostly faded. The shift from gloom to cautious optimism tells you something about how quickly sentiment can turn when the economic fog clears.

The fog has lifted, and people's minds have changed. Last year's bearish arguments now seem a bit silly.

On-chain data shows that the sentiment reversal cycle has returned. Last year's bearish narrative indeed couldn't hold up well. From a code perspective, what's interesting about this shift is that... policy uncertainty is decreasing, but risk premiums haven't been fully released yet. It's worth noting that

Really? It just turned around like that? Last year they were bearish, and now they're optimistic again. Market players are really good at fooling themselves, haha.
