The Bitcoin market is currently filled with a strong sense of fear. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reading is only 29, indicating a deep fear zone, reflecting the pessimistic sentiment of market participants. Meanwhile, the BTC price has touched the $90,700 level.

In such market sentiment, many investors are beginning to reflect on their current holding strategies. The lower the index, the more bearish the market. However, based on historical experience, extreme fear often signals potential opportunities — when the market is extremely pessimistic, the rebound force can sometimes be quite strong.

The power of 29's exponent is truly amazing. If this wave rebounds, how fierce will it be? Wait, is the 90700 level really the bottom, or will it continue to drop? Deep fear isn't that a bottom signal? That's how history has played out. I'm a bit tempted but still hesitant. Who knows if it will continue to crash? Only the brave who dare to buy the dip at this time are truly formidable. Extreme fear turns into extreme greed, that's how the cycle operates. Thinking back, 90700 might have been a bargain price. Retail investors are all buying the dip. Is this a warning signal or an opportunity? I really can't tell. Holding a large position is stressful; looking at this index makes it even harder.

29 really is incredible. At this point, it's better to enjoy the show. That's how history repeats itself. People still cutting losses when the market has fallen this far will regret it when the rebound comes. Extreme fear? I think it's more about testing who can really hold on. 90700 at this point doesn't mean much; the key is who can endure next. Basically, it's a test of psychological resilience. Those who are cowardly have already run. When the rebound comes, you'll know who regrets it... Whoever dares to buy the dip this time will win. The index is so low, and you're still not getting on board? Really don't want to make money, everyone.

Fear Index 29? Isn't that just a signal light for bottom-fishing? History always repeats itself like this. --- So what if it's 90700? True players have already started quietly accumulating. --- Extreme fear = extreme opportunity. Do you still dare to say you don't understand the rules of this game? --- If you're hesitating when the index is at 29, then you really deserve to miss out. --- Every time you say you want to bottom-fish, you start to hesitate at such moments. Where is your promised faith? --- The power of a rebound can sometimes be quite fierce. The key is whether you dare to take action in the dark. --- People who run away in fear, then regret when the rebound happens. Always playing the role of the chasing high fool. --- This is a slaughtering session; many people pay their tuition here. --- 29 is indeed a number, but the problem is the bottom hasn't arrived yet. Who can be sure? --- Historical experience? Will history repeat itself this time? It always feels like the market is playing a new chess game.

29 this number... I'm starting to wonder if it's time to get in The fear index is so low, historically every time it has reversed and slapped us in the face, but I'm still hesitant 90700 feels like the bottom is near, but I just can't bring myself to cut losses Does extreme fear really equal opportunity? Every time I think so, I get trapped and lose big Who is actually bottom-fishing and adding positions during this dip? I panic when I see others panic—that's probably my bad habit Feels like it's that "test of faith" moment again

The number 29 is very interesting. According to on-chain data, this deep fear zone is usually accompanied by abnormal trading patterns from large holders. I suspected it would come to this point a long time ago. The recent outflow frequency from cold wallet addresses has unusually increased, clearly indicating accumulation of chips. Historically, it has always been like this.

The fear index at 29, politely called a bottom opportunity, unkindly said it's still necessary to endure more beating. Why hasn't it broken the bottom yet? Are we waiting for an extreme rebound, or is this a sign to keep cutting? At the 90700 level, when was the last time we saw this? Feels like we're getting more and more trapped. I've memorized this set of historical patterns, but the question is, will history repeat itself? Or are we writing a new script this time? The lower the index, the more opportunities there are? Then why is my principal still shrinking? This logic seems a bit off. Extreme fear with a fierce rebound... sounds good, but before the rebound, the mentality still needs to collapse. The current issue isn't whether there's an opportunity or not, but how much ammunition is left to hold until that moment.
