Bitcoin

On the intraday chart, $58,000.00 is the nearest level bulls will want to defend, while a sustained push through $59,000.00 would open the door to continuation. The 24-hour range ran from $57,945.00 to $59,290.00.
Ethereum
Ethereum eased to $1,570.99 (-0.22% / -5.47% weekly). The ETH/BTC ratio sits near 0.02679, a gauge worth watching for any rotation between the two largest assets. Initial support rests around $1,500.00, with overhead supply into $1,600.00.

Sentiment
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 11 (Extreme Fear), versus 15 a day ago and 17 a week ago. Extreme fear grips the market; such washed-out readings have marked durable lows in past cycles, though they can persist.
What to watch
- Bitcoin $59,000.00: a clean break and hold above this level would confirm renewed momentum; failure keeps the range intact.
- Dominance at 55.4%: a roll-over here would be the classic tell that capital is rotating into altcoins.
- Volume: today's $81.79B is on the lighter side, so treat breakouts with caution.
- Sentiment: watch whether Fear & Greed recovers from fear as price stabilises.
