Crypto Market Surges, Ethereum Leads With 17.7% Gain

In the last 24 hours, almost every major cryptocurrency rose in price, with Ethereum (ETH) standing out the most at +17.7% — meaning its price climbed significantly in a single day. Bitcoin (BTC) also moved up 7.9%, while XRP and SOL each gained around 10%, suggesting broad buying activity across the market rather than just one coin moving on its own. The overall market sentiment indicator, the Fear & Greed Index, currently sits at 62 ("Greed"), which is a tool that reflects how emotionally driven the market is — a higher number means more buyers are acting out of excitement rather than caution.
