Bitcoin at $78381.44 drives altcoin season with Ethereum, Hyperliquid and memecoins rallying as animal spirits return to crypto markets.

Crypto Fear & Greed Index flips to extreme greed for first time since 2024 as BTC leads market rebound.

According to @godbole17, BTC and ETH yearly candles look weak (source: @godbole17 on X, Jan 1, 2026). According to @godbole17, ETH’s yearly candle is especially poor because ETH failed to establish a foothold above its previous bull‑market high, while BTC did so in 2024, highlighting weaker high‑timeframe structure for ETH relative to BTC (source: @godbole17 on X, Jan 1, 2026).
