Bitcoin

On the intraday chart, $62,000.00 is the nearest level bulls will want to defend, while a sustained push through $63,000.00 would open the door to continuation. The 24-hour range ran from $61,673.00 to $62,821.00.
Ethereum
Ethereum inched up to $1,758.42 (+1.37% / +11.28% weekly). The ETH/BTC ratio sits near 0.02816, a gauge worth watching for any rotation between the two largest assets. Initial support rests around $1,700.00, with overhead supply into $1,800.00.

Sentiment
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reads 22 (Extreme Fear), versus 21 a day ago and 15 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 $63,000.00: a clean break and hold above this level would confirm renewed momentum; failure keeps the range intact.
- Dominance at 55.6%: a roll-over here would be the classic tell that capital is rotating into altcoins.
- Volume: today's $60.65B is on the lighter side, so treat breakouts with caution.
- Sentiment: watch whether Fear & Greed recovers from fear as price holds its gains.
