Dominating this upheaval are the industry giants, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which are currently navigating a landscape rife with uncertainty regarding their short-term price movements.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f4c8.png" alt="📈" class="wp-smiley"> The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/crypto?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#crypto</a> markets are now surging again, completing what appears to have been a temporary <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/beartrap?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#beartrap</a>.

Despite a prevalent narrative encouraging buying the dip, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is palpable, especially in the context of the generally less liquid altcoin market.
