Market Heatmap and Fear and Greed Index

The overall crypto sentiment remains bearish, and it feels like it’s been that way forever. Only a handful of altcoins had a bullish month, which isn’t a good sign. Both BTC and ETH are hovering around critical support levels—let’s hope those levels hold.

US500 and DXY analysis

US500 weekly chart rejecting a strong resistance at $6,000.
US500 Chart – Weekly Timeframe

As per our last market outlook, US500 rejected the $6,000 level this week, indicating that the bears are stepping in—especially as fear spreads due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

For optimism to return, a break above $6,150 on US500 is needed.

US500 4h chart overall bearish trading within a flat bearish channel.
US500 Chart – 4H Timeframe

The bears took over the medium-term this week after breaking below the lower orange trendline and the $6,000 round number.

As long as US500 remains within the falling red channel, the overall sentiment stays bearish, with a potential move toward the $5,800 structure marked in green.

DXY weekly chart overall bearish after breaking below the $99 mark.
DXY Chart – Weekly Timeframe

This week, DXY broke below its weekly support at $99, signaling further USD weakness ahead.

As long as $99 holds as resistance, the next support lies around the $96 mark.

DXY 4h chart showing the last low at $98.45 that we need a break below for the bears to take over.
DXY Chart – 4H Timeframe

If the $98.45 structure marked in red is broken to the downside, further weakness on DXY is expected—typically a positive sign for both the stock and crypto markets.

USDT.D, Bitcoin, and Ethereum analysis

USDT.D daily chart rejecting the 5% resistance level.
USDT.D Chart – Daily Timeframe

As per our latest USDT.D analysis, it’s still hovering around the 5% mark—a strong round number acting as resistance.

As long as this 5% resistance holds, the bias remains in favor of the bears.

USDT.D 4h chart rejecting the upper bound of the rising channel.
USDT.D Chart – 4H Timeframe

On the 4H timeframe, USDT.D has been rejecting the upper bound of the rising red wedge pattern.

As a result, a bearish correction is expected on USDT.D, which would be bullish for the crypto market.

BTC daily chart overall bullish as long as it is trading above the $100,000 mark.
BTC Chart – Daily Timeframe

BTC has been hovering within a large range forming a symmetrical triangle marked in red.

As it retests the lower bound of the triangle and the $100,000 round number, we expect the bulls to kick in soon.

BTC 1h chart showing the last major high at $104,650 that we need a break above for the bulls to take over.
BTC Chart – 1H Timeframe

For the bulls to take over in the short term and initiate the next impulse toward the $107,000 resistance level, a break above the $104,650 structure marked in blue is needed.

ETH 4h chart rejecting the lower bound of the support at $2,400.
ETH Chart – 4H Timeframe

As per our last roundup article, ETH has been rejecting the $2,400–$2,500 support zone.

If the $2,400 support level is broken downward, a move toward the next support at $2,100 would be expected.

ETH 1h chart rejecting the lower bound of its falling channel.
ETH Chart – 1H Timeframe

In the short term, for the bulls to defend the $2,400 support and push higher toward the $2,800 mark, a break above the upper red trendline is needed.

Closing Remarks

In summary, the crypto market has remained bearish throughout June, with only a few altcoins showing strength. The Fear and Greed Index has stayed Neutral, reflecting investor indecision.

US500 rejected the $6,000 level and is trending within a bearish channel, while DXY broke below key support at $99, suggesting further USD weakness ahead.

USDT.D is struggling to break above the 5% resistance, with signs of a potential bearish correction—bullish for crypto.

BTC is retesting key support around $100,000 within a symmetrical triangle, and ETH is holding the $2,400–$2,500 zone. For short-term bullish momentum to resume, BTC must break $104,650 and ETH needs to break above its red trendline.
