The crypto market slipped into a risk-off mood over the weekend as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 44, moving from Neutral into Fear.

Traders Shift Toward Large Caps Santiment said a heavy focus on large-caps can signal more cautious behavior among traders. Based on reports, that pattern was visible on Saturday when market activity narrowed and attention tightened around the biggest tokens. According to data firm Santiment, traders are pulling money out of obscure altcoins and putting it back into major names like Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP. Bitfinex analysts added that a broader return of momentum to smaller coins may wait until more spot crypto ETFs launch later this year. Price Moves Are Mixed According to Coingecko, Bitcoin is down 5% over the past month while Ether has risen 9% over the same period. The wider altcoin group is under pressure, even as a few tokens show isolated strength. CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index stood at 56 on Sunday, a level that technically meets the threshold for Altcoin Season when comparing the top 100 altcoins versus Bitcoin over a 90-day window. ???? THIS IS THE FINAL SHAKEOUT FOR ALTCOINS Alts are more OVERSOLD than during: COVID FTX Crash Tariff War No one believes anymore That’s exactly why the altseason is coming pic.twitter.com/7VTU742qmU — Rekt Fencer (@rektfencer) September 6, 2025 Altcoin Season And The Shakeout Some traders see the current pullback as a cleansing move. Trader Rekt Fencer said, “This is the final shakeout for altcoins,” pointing to falling volumes and nervous sentiment. That view is echoed by other market watchers who note that lower volumes can exaggerate price swings and make smaller tokens more volatile. Meanwhile, traders waiting for new inflows say they are watching ETF rollouts as a potential trigger for renewed interest in lower-cap assets. Anyone who thinks Bitcoin has to peak in Q4 of this year does not understand statistics or probability. The halving is completely irrelevant at this point, and there is zero fundamental reason—other than a psychological, self-fulfilling prophecy—for the peak to occur in Q4… — PlanC (@TheRealPlanC) September 5, 2025 Short-Term Risk Views And Cycle Warnings Market technician Daan Crypto Trades described Bitcoin’s price action as “undecisive” and warned it could sweep monthly lows to flush out late long positions. The analyst added that such a move should then cause some fear of it losing $100,000. Other analysts urge caution about drawing firm patterns from past cycles. Related Reading: Tighter Premiums Put Crypto Treasuries On Risky Road, According To NYDIG PlanC warned that relying on just three previous halving cycles is misleading, writing that anyone who expects Bitcoin to have to peak in Q4 this year “does not understand statistics or probability.” Michael van de Poppe offered a counterpoint, arguing that altcoins are “extremely undervalued” versus past cycles and that 2025 may play out very differently.

Solana (SOL) is once again back in the spotlight as bullish momentum returns to the crypto market. After briefly touching $212 last week, the altcoin retraced to around $209 but has held strong, sparking renewed optimism among traders. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTH Aging Velocity Turns Negative: Distribution Phase Unfolds Analysts now see a potential rally toward the $250 level, supported by growing institutional flows and speculation around a Solana spot ETF. Bitget Wallet’s CMO Jamie Elkaleh noted that “ETF conversations around SOL are further amplifying interest,” pointing to the more favorable regulatory tone emerging in the U.S. Market watchers believe a Solana ETF could drive adoption at scale, positioning SOL as one of the strongest altcoins to buy ahead of the next wave of institutional products. Solana ETF Buzz Fuels Momentum for Altcoins Solana isn’t the only digital asset grabbing attention. Wall Street analysts increasingly expect the U.S. SEC to broaden ETF approvals beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Among the top contenders are Solana, XRP, and Cardano, three coins that already boast high liquidity and established derivatives markets. Bloomberg’s James Seyffart suggested that assets like Solana and XRP are “well-positioned to qualify under existing listing rules,” with institutional demand likely to surge once funds launch. If approved, the introduction of a Solana ETF could trigger a demand shock, unlocking new inflows and strengthening its long-term market structure. Why Traders Are Watching SOL Closely Beyond ETF speculation, Solana’s on-chain growth continues to capture attention. The network recently hit a milestone with Real World Assets (RWAs) surpassing $500 million, underscoring growing institutional adoption of tokenized traditional assets. At the same time, Solana has maintained strong trading activity, with daily DEX volume reaching nearly $7.93 billion, even outpacing Ethereum. On the technical front, SOL is showing signs of resilience. Trading at around $209.30, the token sits comfortably above key moving averages, with the 7-day SMA at $206.70 providing immediate support. SOL's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Analysts are watching the $218 resistance level closely, as a breakout could open the door to higher targets between $230 and $250. The RSI at 56.27 points to sustainable momentum with room for further upside before reaching overbought territory. Related Reading: Fair Value Gap Suggests Bitcoin Price Is Going Higher, But Watch Out For This Crash While short-term signals like a slightly bearish MACD histogram suggest caution, traders remain confident that Solana’s strengthening fundamentals, combined with ETF anticipation, could fuel the next major rally.
