The main theme of the afternoon market is still “risk appetite is recovering, but chasing gains needs restraint.” CoinDesk RSS shows that BTC is holding near $87,000 and has risen about 10% in September, with a chance to break out of a rare streak of three straight months of gains; meanwhile, Solana is testing the Alpenglow upgrade, aiming to compress the final confirmation time from 12.8 seconds down to 150 milliseconds. My view: BTC strength sets the market’s anchor, while SOL’s technical narrative boosts imagination for on-chain applications. But the Fear and Greed Index is already at 71, which is in the greed zone—so in the short term, it’s better to wait for a pullback and confirmation rather than chase impulsively.
