The Fear and Greed Index has flipped from Neutral to Fear this week, which could signal that the bulls may step in soon. It might take a week or two before the whales make their move.

US500 and DXY analysis

US500 weekly chart overall bullish printing new ATH every day.
US500 Chart – Weekly Timeframe

As per our previous US500 update, it is still not showing any signs of weakness. Despite ongoing events in the US, including tariffs, uncertainty around the Fed’s decisions, and Trump’s policies, the stock market remains optimistic.

US500 4h chart overall bullish trading within the rising channel.
US500 Chart – 4H Timeframe

US500 is expected to remain bullish in the short- and medium-term as long as it trades within the rising channels highlighted in red and orange.

The stock market outlook will also stay optimistic while US500 holds within these structures.

DXY weekly chart rejecting the $100 resistance zone.
DXY Chart – Weekly Timeframe

DXY is still hovering within a tight range around the $90–$100 resistance zone. As long as this resistance holds, further downside can be expected.

DXY 4h chart rejecting the lower bound of its range.
DXY Chart – 4H Timeframe

In the medium term, DXY has been hovering within the range marked in red. This week, it is retesting the lower bound of that range.

As long as the $97.5 support level holds, we can expect a stronger USD next week.

USDT.D, Bitcoin, and Ethereum analysis

USDT.D daily chart approaching the 4.6% resistance zone.
USDT.D Chart – Daily Timeframe

As per our latest USDT.D update, it has been bullish in the short term, trading within the rising wedge pattern marked in red, a sign of a broader correction phase.

However, as USDT.D approaches the 4.6% resistance level, we expect the bears to take over, which would be bullish for crypto.

USDT.D 4h chart overall bullish as long as the last low at 4.36%.
USDT.D Chart – 4H Timeframe

If the last major low at 4.36% breaks to the downside, the bears will take control of USDT.D, a very bullish signal for BTC and altcoins.

On the other hand, as long as the 4.36% level holds, the bulls will maintain the upper hand on USDT.D.

BTC daily chart overall bullish trading within the rising channel.
BTC Chart – Daily Timeframe

As per our latest BTC update, the overall bias remains bullish as long as the $107,500 structure marked in red holds.

If, and only if, $107,500 breaks to the downside, we can expect further weakness toward the $100,000 round number.

BTC 4h chart showing the inverse head and shoulders neckline that we need a break above for the bulls to take over.
BTC Chart – 4H Timeframe

For the bulls to fully take control and trigger the next major bullish leg, a break above the inverse head and shoulders neckline at $113,440 is required.

ETH daily chart retesting a strong support at $4,000.
ETH Chart – Daily Timeframe

As per our latest ETH analysis, the price is retesting the lower bound of its range at $4,000.

As long as this round number holds, we can expect ETH to show strength heading into next week.

ETH 4h chart overall bearish trading within a falling channel.
ETH Chart – 4H Timeframe

In the medium term, after rejecting the $5,000 round number, ETH has been in a bearish correction, trading within the falling channel marked in red.

For the bulls to regain control and start the next bullish impulse toward the upper bound of the range, a break above the upper red trendline is required.

Closing Remarks

In summary, the crypto market remains at a crossroads, with mixed signals across key indicators.

The heatmap and Fear and Greed Index hint at a potential bullish reversal, though whales may take time to step in.

Traditional markets, led by the US500, continue to show resilience, while DXY is consolidating within a critical range.

USDT.D is nearing a resistance level that could flip momentum in favor of BTC and altcoins.

Bitcoin remains bullish above $107,500, with $113,440 as the breakout level to watch, while Ethereum’s outlook depends on holding $4,000 and breaking out of its falling channel.
