The Fear and Greed Index has moved from 5 — Extreme Fear — two months ago to 54 today. That puts market sentiment in neutral territory.
Analyst AlphaBTC posted on X that macro data this week will matter. He said: “Strong retail sales could push yields higher and delay Fed cuts, while weak data would fuel risk-on bets.” He also noted that Fed commentary, PMI data, and geopolitical risks remain key wildcards.

BitMine Chairman Thomas Lee said the crypto winter is nearing its end. He pointed out that ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2,280 basis points since the war started. Lee added that previous crypto winters coincided with equity drawdowns of at least 20%, while the current equity decline sits at just 8%.
BitMine also reported staking 3.33 million ETH, generating $221 million in annualized staking revenue.
Ethereum’s daily chart shows an ascending triangle pattern. A break above $2,400 would target $3,230, a move of over 41% from current levels. The RSI sits near 55, and the Stochastic Oscillator is around 61.
Key support sits at the 20-day EMA near $2,252 and the 50-day EMA at $2,211. ETH saw $144.4 million in futures liquidations in the past 24 hours, with $101.1 million from long positions.
The $2,300 level is being watched as the key near-term support, with $2,400 as the resistance to break.
