<p>In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency trading, May has proven to be a month of extreme highs and lows. First, there was excitement over the news of the first <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ethereum-etf-approved-what-this-means-for-bitcoin-and-altcoins/">Ethereum Spot ETF approval</a> by the SEC, sending shockwaves through the crypto world. </p> 
<p>But just as quickly, prices dived, bringing back the world’s largest crypto by market cap bitcoin to $67,850. This shifting sentiment has kept traders on the edge of their seats with a mix of excitement and anxiety.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-month-of-extremes-volatility-nbsp">Month of Extremes Volatility&nbsp;</h2> 
<p>May kicked off with a sense of unease among crypto traders, with prices plummeting amidst concerns stemming from the April <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/bitcoins-price-predictions-post-halving-whats-next/">19th Bitcoin halving</a>. However, the narrative quickly changed following reports of the SEC’s decision to greenlight Ethereum ETFs.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>This news triggers widespread excitement, leading to substantial price surges across the crypto sphere, notably Ethereum’s staggering 20% single-day leap, marking one of its most remarkable performances in nine years.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news">Buy the Rumor, Sell the News”</h2> 
<p>Yet, as the Ethereum ETFs approve, the market experiences a downturn once more. This familiar pattern of “<a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/is-the-bitcoin-halving-a-buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news-moment-community-weighs-in/">buy the rumor, sell the news”</a> echoes previous events like the Ethereum merge and Bitcoin ETF approvals.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Market enthusiasm often precedes significant events, followed by a post-event dip, prompting traders to reassess their expectations</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-buying-call-indicates">Buying Call Indicates</h3> 
<p>Looking ahead, traders remain divided in their sentiments, with some expressing optimism while others approach the market with caution. Social media platforms witness a surge in “buy” calls, indicating high optimism among traders, particularly during minor retracements. Santiment notes that genuine buying opportunities often arise when the crowd fails to recognize them.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-memecoin-mania">Memecoin Mania</h2> 
<p>Amidst the turbulence, Ethereum emerged as a standout performer, fueled by anticipation surrounding the ETF approval. However, the broader crypto market experienced mixed results, while Bitcoin remains stagnant, and several top 100 projects witness declines.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Surprisingly, meme coins like PEPE and BONK thrived amidst the chaos, underscoring the unpredictable nature of the market.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-on-the-driving-seat">Ethereum On the Driving Seat</h2> 
<p>The approval of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-facing-consolidation-phase-legendary-crypto-analyst-predicts-btc-to-drop-to-61k-soon/">Ethereum ETFs has undoubtedly shifted</a> the spotlight onto the altcoin, but questions linger about the sustainability of the current momentum.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Bitcoin takes a backseat as Ethereum dominates discussions, fueled by terms like “Pizza Day” and “ETF Flows. As the dust settles, traders brace themselves for the next phase of market volatility, navigating the ever-changing landscape of cryptocurrency trading.</p>
