Most traders get the timing backwards. They wait for the headline—Clarity Act fails, Fed hikes rates—then hit sell. But $BTC already dumped before the news dropped. Why? The market priced it in days earlier.

By the time retail has a "reason" to panic, they're selling into bids that mark the bottom. Smart money bought the fear, dumb money sold the news.

This is how bottoms form: crowd conviction peaks right as the move exhausts. If you're trading headlines, you're late. Trade the setup, not the story.
