Analyst Zeberg warns of temporary Bitcoin rise.

Potential short-term peak or relief rally.

Fear & Greed Index at 30 ('Fear') supports caution.

Issue context

The crypto market sees modest gains, with Bitcoin and Ethereum ticking up, yet the Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Fear'. Despite a net outflow of $105 million from Bitcoin Spot ETFs, derivatives markets show a slight bullish bias. Attention is drawn to the rapid growth of tokenized stocks on Ethereum and the controversy surrounding a key Solana upgrade.

The market presents mixed signals: modest spot gains and positive derivatives funding rates contrast with ETF outflows and a 'Fear' index. You should monitor Ethereum and Solana developments for structural impacts. Declining whale activity in XRP is a cautionary signal for short-term price action.
