Bitcoin just crashed to $65,000, forcing billions of dollars in leveraged trades to be forcibly sold off. At the exact same time, the U.S. Treasury Secretary just announced progress on creating a government-backed strategic Bitcoin reserve.

## Idea

When markets drop too fast, they often snap back. Bitcoin just plunged to $65,000, wiping out over $1.8 billion in risky, borrowed-money trades. This forced selling is often finished quickly, setting the stage for a rebound. What makes this crash different is the news: the U.S. Treasury is moving forward with plans to create a government Bitcoin reserve, which is a massive vote of confidence. With panic sellers out of the way and major government backing on the horizon, this looks like a classic opportunity to buy on the dip.
