24-Hour Market Watch: Hidden Secrets Behind the Surge—Stay Clear-Headed During Panic

Let’s start with the overall market—today felt like hitting the gas pedal. Mainstream coins led the rally, while altcoins had mixed performances: some took off, others are still crawling. The total market cap finally climbed above $3.15 trillion, up 1.61%, barely giving the market a shot of adrenaline.

On the hot topic front, there were some explosive updates: Ethereum broke through the $3,100 mark, and whales are still accumulating. With this volatility, newcomers are getting shaky legs, while seasoned players see opportunity. Bitcoin was even more aggressive, breaking straight through $91,000 with a clear short-term rebound—at least we’re not anxiously watching the price drop all day.

But don't get carried away by the rally. There’s a “time bomb” next week—APT, LINEA, and especially STRK are unlocking tokens worth over $50 million combined. With this wave of selling pressure incoming, it’s hard to say if the market can absorb it. Better be prepared in advance.

There’s no shortage of good news, either: Ethereum reserves on centralized platforms have dropped to their lowest level since 2015! With supply this tight, there could be more upside ahead. BlackRock is still holding over 770,000 BTC—if the big institutions aren’t running, why should retail panic? Plus, Saylor just launched another Bitcoin tracker and is expected to announce more BTC accumulation next week—the signals couldn’t be clearer.

Finally, let’s talk sentiment—the Fear & Greed Index plunged to 20 today, firmly in “extreme fear” territory! Anyone who’s been around a few years knows, these moments usually aren’t the end—they’re when you should stay alert and look for entry opportunities.
