Bitcoin just suffered a severe crash, dropping to $65,000 and forcing $1.8 billion in leveraged traders to automatically sell their holdings. Emotion in the market is currently at maximum fear, with analysts watching $60,000 as the critical bounce-back level.

## Idea

Massive liquidation events like the one we just saw often wash out the weakest hands, creating a temporary bottom in price. With market sentiment hitting 'max fear' and analysts targeting $60,000 as a major support level, the selling pressure is likely exhausted. Historically, when forced selling ends this abruptly and sentiment indicators bottom out, prices tend to snap back sharply once bargain hunters step in.
