“To the moon”. “Pamp it”. “LFG”… etc, etc. All the euphoric crypto-slang phrases are getting a run today, and with decent reason – Bitcoin and most major altcoins have been on something of a tear over the past 24 hours.

Urban Dictionary, by the way, has three different meanings for the word “pamp“. It can describe a pumping crypto, an “extreme pimp” and, um, a toilet-based dump. We’ll run with the first option.

 

Top 10 overview

With the overall crypto market cap at about US$2.24 trillion, up roughly 6.5% from this time yesterday, here’s the current state of play among top 10 tokens – according to CoinGecko.

It’s green city in the crypto majors right now. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are getting it done on the back of various bits and pieces of positive news and strong narratives.

The big daily winners, however, are layer 1 blockchains Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) – actually up a whopping 40% over the past week thanks to its Coinbase staking news among other things, and Polkadot (DOT).

So, how’s the old Crypto Fear & Greed Index market-sentiment tracker going today? As suspected, it’s finally ticked back into green for Greed…

 

But not to kill the mood too much, the recently bearish trader “Roman” is still erring on the side of caution, at least until he sees some larger volume on the… “pamp”. Just something to keep in mind before you FOMO into every other dog coin going.

Rekt Capital, meanwhile, reckons Bitcoin has now made a solid return to a higher range – US$43,100 to $52k.

And here’s a chart possibly worth paying some attention to as well, posted by young American crypto analyst Will Clemente (see tweet below). It shows Bitcoin’s “moving average convergence divergence” (MACD) indicator.

WTF’s that then? Investopedia gives a good breakdown, but the TLDR is: it’s a momentum indicator that helps show whether an asset’s bullish or bearish movement in price is on a strengthening or weakening trend.

That green bar down the bottom right… the start of something?

 

Uppers and downers: 11–100
