BTC overnight touched $79198, only $802 away from $80K, the fear and greed index jumped from 26 to 47 in two days, and the extreme fear has officially shifted to neutral

This repair speed surprised me; historically, this rhythm is not the top, but a window where cautious funds begin to test the waters
Open interest has slightly declined from its peak, funding rates are close to zero, leverage is not overheated, I feel $80K is not a problem, just waiting for spot to make the final move
Another thing that caught my attention today is that the popularity of SOL and XRP on Reddit suddenly exploded, SOL +150%, XRP +600%. XRP has the 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 rhythm 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 that even if the Clarity Act does not pass, the crypto industry will be fine. I feel this is cooling the market; insiders’ expectations of 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 has not caught up yet, all signals are still gathering strength
Do you think this altcoin wave is a genuine rotation or a false move?
