[Is the 2018 script playing out again?]

Do you guys remember the end of 2018? The whole scene was a mess, everyone was shouting 'Bitcoin is done for,' and what happened? That was the massive bottom of that cycle.

The current situation? Well, it feels a bit similar.

The Fear and Greed Index is at 12, pure panic mode. Do you know what that means? The entire market is scared stiff, new retail investors are too afraid to jump in, and old holders are taking losses. But BTC? It's up 5.5% over the week and even had a slight rise of 0.7% yesterday, totally ignoring the panic vibes.

That's what we call divergence. In plain terms: everyone says they're scared, but their actions tell a different story.

And did you know? BTC is currently down nearly half from its all-time high, almost a 50% retracement. Historically, this range is where long-term investors start to take notice.

But I gotta be real, the volume right now is pretty weak, indicating that people are still on the sidelines, no one’s ready to dive in with real cash. The price is stuck oscillating between 61548 and 65570, and the direction hasn’t been decided yet.

So I’m a bit torn: on one hand, on-chain data shows we might be close to a bottom, but on the other hand, market sentiment and volume are telling me to wait it out.

What do you think?

A. We’ve already hit the bottom, time to start scaling in
B. We might still see some consolidation, wait for clear signals
C. Not sure, let’s stay on the sidelines
