The market is in “fear” mode, but is this actually a hidden opportunity?
-
From the October high, Bitcoin is now about 20–22% down, and over the last few weeks long-term holders have also sold a significant amount of BTC , in just the last 30 days ~815,000 BTC have moved, which is the biggest long-term sell-off since January 2024.
-
At the same time, on the macro side, the US government shutdown drama, the Fed’s “high for longer” interest-rate narrative, and capital shifting away from risk assets are all putting pressure on overall crypto sentiment. Bitcoin is moving only 1–2%, but altcoins (like AERO, STRK, FET) are dumping much harder; the fear zone is getting deeper.
-
So is this the end? Or is this that familiar “fear phase” where strong hands slowly accumulate supply from weak hands?
= Bitcoin dominance is rising
= Stablecoin inflow is increasing (people prefer to move to cash/side-lines)
= On-chain data shows that even though many old coins are moving, a portion is again being parked in cold storage.

What do you personally do in a fear phase? Do you close your charts, or do you see it as an opportunity for data-driven dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
