Bitcoin crashed to $65,000, forcing over $1.8 billion in leveraged positions to be liquidated. Sentiment has hit extreme fear, but analysts see a rebound coming as stocks sit at record highs.

## Idea

When leverage gets wiped out this fast, it often clears the way for a bounce because the forced sellers are gone. The market is pricing in absolute panic, meaning any slightly good news could trigger a fast recovery as short-sellers take profits. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit a two-month low, a zone that has historically preceded sharp bounces. This sets up an opportunity to buy when others are most fearful, targeting a rebound once selling pressure exhausts itself.
