Bitcoin just saw a massive crash that wiped out billions of dollars in leveraged trades, driving market sentiment to extreme fear levels.

## Idea

When a market drops so fast that it forces a massive wave of automatic sell-offs—like the $1.8 billion we just saw—it often creates a short-term bottom. The panic selling has pushed sentiment indicators to 'extreme fear,' which historically has been a great time for contrarian buyers to step in. As the selling pressure exhausts itself, prices tend to snap back quickly once the dust settles. Buying in during this peak fear period lets you catch the rebound while everyone else is running for the exits.
