Started my crypto story back in 2021 when Bitcoin was trading north of $60,000. Then came the brutal reality—watched it crater over 75% down to $16,000 the next year. That collapse was wild. The funny thing? Scroll through crypto Twitter in 2022 and 90% of the posts were screaming for even lower prices, talking about $10k Bitcoin or worse. Classic market psychology. Looking at the trader activity patterns compared to those price movements, the data tells you something interesting: massive panic at the bottom, yet that's historically been when the real opportunities started to show up. The charts don't lie—sentiment and price action tell very different stories.

Only those who buy during panic at the bottom are the real winners, but unfortunately, most people simply can't do it.

It's all my fault for not holding it together at that time; looking back, the panic from that time is really funny.

A typical case of screaming at the dip and singing bearish at the peak. That wave in 2022 really scared the suckers.

With a 75% fall, 90% of people are shouting short... This data pattern is interesting, the fear index and on-chain transfer fee rate are both Reverse Indicators. The opportunity cost is lowest at the bottom, which reflects the efficiency of capital.
