Bitcoin's price just crashed to $65,000, forcing over $1.8 billion in leveraged traders to automatically sell their holdings. Fear in the market is the highest it's been in two months, but some analysts think this panic is setting up a rebound.

## Idea

When a market crashes this fast, it usually forces a cascade of automatic selling that pushes the price below its true value. With $1.8 billion wiped out in a flash, the panic selling is likely overdone. Historically, when fear reaches this kind of extreme low and forced selling ends, prices tend to snap back up quickly as bargain hunters step in. Analysts are already pointing to $60,000 as a strong floor, meaning the downside is limited from here.
