Bitcoin just crashed to $65,000, wiping out $1.8 billion in leveraged bets. The crypto fear gauge just posted its biggest spike since February, but some analysts see a rebound coming as stocks keep hitting records.

## Idea

When Bitcoin crashes hard enough to trigger massive liquidations, it often washes out the weakest hands and sets up a bounce. The fear gauge just had its biggest spike since the February crash — those episodes have frequently marked short-term bottoms. Meanwhile, the stock market keeps hitting all-time highs on the AI boom, and analysts note Bitcoin has lagged badly and may be due for a catch-up rally. A move back toward the low $70,000s is realistic once the forced selling is exhausted.
