The most striking thing in this morning’s market wasn’t the slogans—it was $ETH bringing sentiment back first.

After a scare, funds didn’t keep fleeing; instead, they started cautiously buying back in. Many people are watching to see whether $BTC can hold above 80,000, but Ethereum is actually leading the gains—with greater short-term volatility and more discussion around both futures and spot markets.

This isn’t a call to buy. I’m just jotting down the stories I heard on the street today: on the first day fear starts to fade, the key is often who’s willing to get on board first. Watch the price action and make your own call; manage your own position.
