BTC overnight touched $79,198, only $802 away from $80K, fear and greed index jumped from 26 to 47 in two days, extremely fearful is officially turning neutral
This repair speed surprised me, historically this pace is not the top, but a window where cautious funds start to test the entry
Open interest slightly declined from its peak, funding rates approaching zero, leverage not overheated, I feel $80K is not a problem, just waiting for spot to make the final move
Another thing I noticed today is that the popularity of SOL and XRP on Reddit suddenly exploded, SOL +150%, XRP +600%. XRP has SEC delisting as a catalyst, SOL does not, just BTC sideways movement has started to attract high-beta funds.
The signs of altcoin rotation are emerging, but BTC needs to stabilize above $80K first to boost confidence
EF sold a total of $47 million worth of ETH three times this week, and the more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel. It’s not that they can’t sell, but the pace and scale are accelerating.
ETH is currently digesting smoothly, but if this becomes a weekly routine, the relative performance of ETH/BTC will be hard to be optimistic about
Another counter-narrative is that CoinFund President Perkins said even if the Clarity Act doesn’t pass, the crypto industry will be fine. I feel this is cooling the market, as insiders’ expectations for legislative certainty are not as high as external narratives suggest
April was the best month for BTC in nearly 12 months, May started well, but spot hasn’t caught up yet, all signals are still building momentum
Do you think this altcoin rotation is a real shift or a false move?
