Media and public sentiment play a massive role in shaping investment decisions. Look at what's happened over the past 14 months—nonstop bullish narratives around Bitcoin and the broader crypto space. Everyone's talking up the upside.

But here's the thing: when you've got that much positive momentum baked in, what really happens once the technicals start failing? We're talking about when support levels that held for months finally get tested and broken. That's when sentiment can flip fast—sometimes faster than people expect.

The crowd's been fed a steady diet of bullish stories. But markets don't move in one direction forever. Eventually, the technical picture has to catch up with reality. And when support cracks after holding for that long? That's usually when you see conviction change.

Basically, don't go where there are a lot of people. Now everyone is hyping up Bitcoin loudly, but when it crashes, you'll see who's been swimming naked.

The bear market is here, no one can run away, don't just listen to stories --- Honestly, hype and public opinion are very effective against retail investors --- It's only when support collapses that it's time to see human nature... --- A bunch of people bragging wildly, but when technicals collapse, there's no laughing --- Once the price falls below those key points, the slaughter begins --- Those still talking about a bull market now won't be able to escape later --- Technical analysis lies, public opinion is the real knife --- Breaking support levels shatters confidence too, that's the market --- Still unaware after being brainwashed? Get ready to be harvested --- Psychological expectations and actual market conditions are two different things, enjoy the show

No matter how loud the hype, when the breakdown happens, it's all just screams from the retail investors. --- Honestly, no matter how well a 14-month story is spun, it can't withstand a single big bearish candle. --- Right now, people are still talking about fundamentals. When the support truly collapses, you'll see what a reversal really means. --- Basically, it's just the profit-taking effect numbing people's minds. When the technicals reveal the truth, conviction is thinner than paper. --- Market matters are just herd mentality combined with leverage. When one collapses, everything collapses. --- Will this time be different? No. --- I've seen too many people confidently say "this time is different," only to run when support levels break. --- I bet the conviction change in this round will be ten times faster than you think.
