Ethereum Price Hits Overbought Territory Amidst Bitcoin's Record Rise

The Ethereum price has hit an overbought RSI of 80 as Bitcoin tops $80,000. The current reading is deep into overbought territory, a level that markets rarely sustain for long. On-chain demand, driven by Uniswap V3 fees surging 191.9% over seven days, suggests genuine interest rather than purely speculative activity.

Bitcoin's push past $80,000 and a Fear & Greed Index of 74 are fueling broad risk appetite across the crypto market. The macro picture matters here, with sentiment running hot across the board. A total crypto market cap near $2.73 trillion, up 1.94% on the day, confirms this is not an Ethereum-only story.

Ethereum's daily chart shows a powerful trend that is statistically overextended. However, hourly momentum is decelerating even as price grinds higher. If the market loses support at $2,498.57, a retreat becomes realistic. A move toward the daily S1 at $2,477.60 is plausible.

Given the volatility indicated by daily and hourly ATR readings, anyone tracking this market should expect real price action in the sessions ahead. Sentiment sitting in Greed territory alongside an extreme daily RSI can precede either a continuation rally or a sharper-than-expected pullback.
