When it comes to determining the direction of prices, every analyst has their own opinion, making it difficult for an outside observer to make sense of it all. Furthermore, every analyst has their own biases, which can cast doubt on the credibility of predictions, especially in cases of excessive euphoria or pessimism.
To try to cut through the noise, the Unbias aggregation tool uses artificial intelligence to track the opinions of the “top 1% of crypto analysts among tens of thousands,” in order to provide a consensus on the prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
Among the more than 250 analysts tracked, sentiment is now shifting toward a bearish bias on a daily and weekly basis, while it remains neutral over a 30-day period and slightly positive over a 3-day period:
