【The mistake retail investors make most often: mistaking a rebound for a reversal】
Lately, the sentence I’ve corrected most often is: “After falling so much, of course it’s a reversal.” But the Fear and Greed Index is only at 34, still in fear territory. BTC has risen 3.2% in 24 hours, yet is still down 1.7% for the week. Prices haven’t turned stronger, but sentiment has already become extremely pessimistic. That’s what changed my view.
I’ve been through several market cycles and seen reversals start with rising volume, followed by a compelling narrative. This time, trading volume is low, and BTC’s market dominance is 59.5%—it looks more like investors are holding their positions and waiting on the sidelines. This is where I get stuck: without volume, how far can the rebound go? I lean toward a bottom forming, but I wouldn’t call it a reversal.
In practical terms, miners pivoting to AI is a litmus test. Riot is selling BTC to fund its AI expansion, while Hut 8 has fallen short of revenue expectations and seen costs rise. Its AI leases have yet to generate revenue, and power availability and permits remain uncertain. This affects miners, data center operators, and computing-power investors alike. The point isn’t to relabel mining rigs as AI machines; it’s whether they can secure power, obtain permits, and actually collect payments under their leases. Otherwise, it’s just an expensive IOU for the future.
74,181 is near-term support, and 82,624 is resistance above. Until there’s a breakout, I won’t treat a bottom as a fact. Do you think this move is a bottom forming, or a second dip after a low-volume rebound?
