The emotional game behind Bitcoin's rebound: Can retail fear drive BTC back to 100,000?

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】An interesting phenomenon has emerged. Bitcoin has indeed rebounded over the past week, but on social platforms, bearish voices are actually increasing. Does this sound a bit contradictory?

Actually, this is quite common—retail investors’ emotions often go against market trends. When most people are shouting “it’s going to fall,” it might actually be a sign of a bottom.

Data shows that in the past 10 days, retail investors’ fear sentiment has reached a high level. According to this logic, the more intense the bearish voices, the more they could potentially become a driving force for BTC to return to $100,000.

So next time you see overwhelming pessimistic tones, maybe think twice—are they truly dangerous, or are they market signals for a good entry point?

Retail investors' fear is the best time to buy the dip. I've already made a fortune following this logic.

Are retail investors' fears at the highest point actually the bottom? I've heard this logic too many times, always saying it's a buying opportunity, but what happens...

It's the same old story again, retail fear = bottom signal. Why do I feel this logic always works?

Retail investors shouting "drop" and the coin rises. I'm tired of this logic, I'm just afraid it will really drop this time.
