CryptoQuant: Fear and Greed Index Signals Potential Rally

  • CryptoQuant has recorded a “golden cross” in the fear and greed index.
  • The historical pattern signals a potential continuation of the bull trend
  • The 30-day average rose above the 90-day average for the first time since May 2025.
  • This points to a shift in short-term sentiment amid market skepticism.

CryptoQuant analysts reported the formation of a potentially important market signal. They are referring to a “golden cross” in the moving averages of the bitcoin fear and greed index. 

According to them, for the first time since May 2025, the 30-day moving average crossed above the 90-day moving average, which has historically indicated a shift in sentiment toward “bullish” conditions.

As the experts noted, this kind of behavior suggests that short-term sentiment is improving faster than the long-term trend. This does not indicate euphoria. On the contrary — the signal typically forms amid skepticism, persistently high volatility, and fragile market confidence, the statement said.

CryptoQuant emphasized that what matters is not the absolute level of fear or greed, but the momentum of sentiment relative to the underlying trend.

According to the analysts, the signal becomes stronger if the crossover is accompanied by the formation of “higher lows” on the price chart and the absence of aggressive selling pressure.

Experts believe that a widening gap between the 30-day and 90-day moving averages points to the start of an uptrend, while a crossover signals the risk of defensive selling driven by superficial optimism.

Notably, as of the time of writing, the Fear and Greed Index stands at 32 points, indicating “fear” among traders. Previously, the indicator reached its highest level since the market crash in October.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
