Top Gainers:

Cryptocurrency	Price	Gains +/-
Book Of Meme BOME/USD	$0.01009	+32.4%
Worldcoin WLD/USD	$2.34	+18.2%
Ethena ENA/USD	$0.4093	+18%

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices crossing the $65,000 mark, Santiment data pointed out that the rise has prompted traders to seek opportunities in the GameFi and memecoin sectors, with discussions around these altcoins increasing.

Historically, this signals growing bullish sentiment. After a five-week market rally, slight FOMO may continue, with speculative assets gaining attention until a correction shifts sentiment back to fear.

Crypto trader Stockmoney Lizards sees Bitcoin entering the FOMO zone.

#Bitcoin entering the FOMO zone… We will see a temporary retracement at some points and FOMO traders will be liquidated before moving back to the path up.

OI increasing, 65-66k is a natural resistance zone… There will be more opportunities to swing buy. pic.twitter.com/S3OdpWdHTW
