Bitcoin just crashed to $65,000, forcing leveraged traders to sell off over $1.8 billion worth of crypto. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Secretary just confirmed the government is moving forward with plans to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

## Idea

A massive $1.8 billion crash forced many traders to panic-sell, which historically clears the way for a price bounce once the selling exhausts itself. At the same time, the U.S. government just reaffirmed it is actively building a strategic Bitcoin reserve, providing massive long-term validation for the asset. When extreme panic selling meets major government buying interest, it often creates a strong floor for the price. This sets up a classic 'buy the dip' opportunity on the recent drop.
