The Fear & Greed Index just hit 5 (Extreme Fear). The last time sentiment was this low, Bitcoin bottomed and did a 3x.
Most traders are panic-selling because $BTC slipped to $68,300 and $ETH lost the psychological $2,000 level.
They are reacting. You need to be anticipating.
While retail is capitulating, on-chain data shows smart money is bidding heavily on these two "oversold" narratives for the 2026 rebound:
1. The Solana "Utility" Bottom 📉
$SOL is currently testing the $77 - $80 support zone.
The Data: Despite the price drop, institutional net inflows hit $8.4M this week.
The Play: If $SOL holds $77, the bounce to $88 (+12%) is the easiest trade on the board. If it breaks, I’m catching knives at $67.
2. The XRP "Liquidity" Squeeze 💧
$XRP is holding strong at $1.50 while everything else bleeds.
The Signal: There is a massive liquidity wall between here and $4.00.
The Reality: XRP is decoupling. While BTC dumps, XRP is consolidating. This is usually a precursor to a violent breakout.
My Strategy for February 17:
I am NOT selling here. I am deploying cash into this fear.
Buy Orders: Set for $PEPE at $0.00000380 (it’s currently $0.00000438).
Stop Loss: Taught on all positions if BTC closes below $60,000.
🧠 The Million Dollar Question:
Are we heading to $60k or is this the bottom?
