Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid Lead This Week: Crypto Altcoins to Bounce After Fear and Greed Index Hit Neutral

[Redator]

ETH ▼-2.56%, SOL ▼-3.49%, and Hyperliquid have shown steady gains this week amid a market dip with crypto fear and greed index hitting neutral.

Ethereum climbed 3% over seven days to $4,400 from $4,300, hitting an all-time high of $4,946 before dropping to today’s level. The Ethereum ATH is likely driven by spot ETF inflows that reached $3.75 billion.

Solana, on the other hand, rose 3.4% to $187, with trading volume hitting $14 billion, which saw it go as high as $198. Hyperliquid’s HYPE edged up 3.9% to $44.83, and its DEX is generating $90 million in fees just from last month alone.

However, with the crypto fear and greed index at neutral, will crypto recover soon?

Neutral Fear and Greed Index Historically Leads To A Crypto Pump

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index sits at 48, a neutral sentiment after dipping from 56 last week. This balanced reading, based on volatility, momentum, and social signals, often precedes recoveries as it clears excess leverage.

Historical data shows neutral phases (45-55) led to 12% average gains in the following month for majors like ETH and SOL, with 70% of cases turning bullish. Whales are rotating into ETH, SOL, and Hyperliquid, signaling conviction for an uptick.

Data is pointing to bullish momentum now. Ethereum’s RSI at 61 and weekly 71 indicate building strength without overbought risks. Solana’s futures premium jumped to 16%, reflecting smart money bets on its $200 breakout.

Hyperliquid’s buybacks, using 97% of revenue, reduced supply by 0.65% in 90 days, outpacing top protocols. With $7 billion in spot volume on Hyperliquid—90% BTC and ETH—liquidity flows support a bounce.

Neutral sentiment on the fear and greed index aligns with on-chain resets as more than $900 million in liquidations clear weak positions.

Ethereum’s dominance hit a yearly high at 13.8%, while Solana’s daily active wallets exceeded 500,000. Hyperliquid’s 75% perpetual DEX share and EVM launch add ecosystem depth.

Expect ETH to test $5,000, SOL $230, and HYPE $50, as neutral fear and greed index readings are historically bullish.

Trump Partnering With Crypto.com

By Akiyama Felix

Trump Media and Technology Group just dropped an announcement of a partnership with Crypto.com. Following the news, CRO crypto moved by more than 30% in the aftermath.

The CRO crypto deal integrates Cronos as the utility token for rewards on Truth Social and Truth+, letting users swap engagement “gems” for CRO via the Crypto.com app wallet. Although unexpected, this partnership was built on both parties’ earlier crypto ETF collaborations, which put CRO as the currency for subscriptions in a digital-first setup.

CRO jumped 30% to $0.20 just soon after the announcement, with trading volume spiking sixfold to almost $500 million. Also, just after the announcement, Trump Media snapped up $105 million worth of CRO, while Crypto.com counters with a $50 million stake in DJT stock. The commitment is further stamped by the Trump Media plans to stake its CRO for extra yields through Crypto.com’s custody.
