Bitcoin just suffered a massive crash down to $65,000, wiping out leveraged traders and pushing market sentiment to 'max fear.' However, some analysts believe this panic selling is overdone and sets the stage for a rebound.

## Idea

When a market drops this fast, it usually forces over-leveraged traders to sell, creating a temporary panic. Bitcoin has crashed to $65,000, triggering massive liquidations and extreme fear. Historically, when fear spikes this high and forced selling ends, the price often bounces back as bargain hunters step in. This trade bets that the worst of the panic is over and a short-term recovery is due.
