Airdrop Army

Bitcoin cracked a fresh ceiling early Monday, blasting past $82,000 and kicking off a wild market run that’s got everyone’s FOMO flashing red. Investors rode the tidal wave of price action, with sentiment readings ripping to “Extreme Greed” at 78 on Sunday—an intensity we haven’t clocked since March’s peak of 82. By Monday, that fervor simmered to 76, but you can still feel the hunger on every block.

Sentiment Spins Out as Bitcoin Hits New Highs

Thirty days ago, the Fear and Greed Index was chilling at 49—just a sleepy neutral. Now, the barometer’s in deep green, and retail and whales alike are feeling the giddy up-and-up. With Bitcoin’s price torching new records, even the perma-bears seem to have flipped. According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin surged 3.6% in a single day, pumping that sweet adrenaline into a market hungry for the next big leg. Now, the Fear and Greed Index is screaming risk and reward, teetering between euphoria and the possibility of a rug-pull.

Ethereum’s no slouch either, inching back over $3,000 last week and touching $3,241 by Monday. Meme coins are also buzzing in Bitcoin’s tailwind—Floki, Elon, and OG Dogecoin popped off, with DOGE hitting its three-year high. But this rocket fuel is burnin’ hot, and some are whispering about when the air gets thin.

Trump’s Win Gases Up the Bulls, Betting on Loose Regs

Trump back in the Oval? That’s the match fueling this fire. Crypto hopefuls are already pegging his second round as the green light for digital assets, expecting his friendly vibes toward crypto to keep doors wide open for big money. The community is banking on a regulatory open pass, and Mike Novogratz, resident bull whisperer, dubbed Trump’s win the “most important day” in crypto’s saga. Market bets are that a pro-crypto stance could blow the lid off mainstream adoption.

“Clearer guidelines mean bigger bags and more on-ramps,” said Vishal Sacheendran from Binance. His words echo hopes that regulatory clarity will spin this rally into sustained motion. If Trump’s admin leans pro-crypto, this may just be the start of something way bigger.

Greed Gauge Flashes Caution as Liquidations Spike

The Fear and Greed Index doesn’t play games. Once it crosses 75, things get choppy, with history warning about the heat around these levels. Coinglass data says Bitcoin’s latest push spurred over $123 million in liquidations in just 24 hours, wiping out anyone too cozy in their shorts.

Willy Chuang, Woo X’s COO, sees risk mounting. “BTC hitting new highs brings big pressure,” he said, hinting that once the Index hits 90, markets get sketchy. At 76, we’re already in deep greed, a marker for high-volatility waters ahead.
