Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid Take the Spotlight This Week: Crypto Altcoins Set to Rebound After Fear and Greed Index Reaches Neutral
ETH ▼-2.56%, SOL ▼-3.49%, and Hyperliquid have demonstrated consistent growth this week despite a crypto market downturn, with the cryptocurrency fear and greed index reflecting a neutral stance.
ETH gained 3% over the week, rising from $4,300 to $4,400, reaching a peak of $4,946 before retreating to the current value. The record high for Ethereum is likely influenced by spot ETF inflows totaling $3.75 billion.

Conversely, Solana has seen a 3.4% increase to $187, with trading volumes reaching $14 billion, peaking at $198. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s HYPE has risen by 3.9% to $44.83, generating $90 million in fees in just the last month.
Yet, with the crypto fear and greed index maintaining a neutral position, can we expect a prompt recovery in the trading market?

Neutral Fear and Greed Index Historically Precedes a Crypto Surge
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index currently stands at 48, reflecting a neutral sentiment after falling from 56 last week. This stable reading, based on factors such as price swings, momentum, and social signals, frequently precedes market recoveries by eliminating excessive leverage.
Historical analysis indicates that neutral periods (45-55) typically lead to an average increase of 12% over the next month for major cryptocurrencies like ETH and SOL, with 70% of instances turning bullish. Whales are diversifying into ETH, SOL, and Hyperliquid, indicating a strong belief in an upward movement.
Current data suggests a bullish trend is developing. Ethereum’s RSI is at 61, and the weekly is at 71, indicating increasing strength without risks of being overbought. Solana’s futures premium has risen to 16%, showing smart money is betting on a $200 upward movement.
Hyperliquid’s repurchases, utilizing 97% of its revenue, decreased supply by 0.65% over 90 days, outperforming leading protocols. With $7 billion in spot volume on Hyperliquid—comprising 90% BTC and ETH—liquidity is fostering a rebound.
The neutral sentiment on the fear and greed index corresponds with on-chain adjustments as over $900 million in liquidations remove weak positions.
Ethereum’s market share reached a yearly peak of 13.8%, while Solana’s daily active crypto wallet numbers surpassed 500,000. Hyperliquid’s 75% share of the perpetual DEX market and introduction of EVM adds further depth to the ecosystem.
Anticipate ETH reaching $5,000, SOL $230, and HYPE $50, as historically, neutral fear and greed index metrics have been bullish.

The CRO crypto arrangement incorporates Cronos as the utility coin for benefits on Truth Social and Truth+, allowing users to exchange engagement “gems” for CRO through the Crypto.com app digital wallet.

Shortly after the announcement, CRO jumped 30% to $0.20, with trading volume increasing sixfold to nearly $500 million. Additionally, Trump Media acquired $105 million worth of CRO post-announcement while Crypto.com countered with a $50 million investment in DJT stock. The collaboration is further solidified by Trump Media’s intention to stake its CRO to gain additional yields via Crypto.com’s custody.
