There are several old adages on Wall Street that teach buying when the masses are panicking. Investors should be taking their advice today… Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rallied to all-time highs above $73,000 in March – pushing the Crypto Fear & Greed Index to a “severe greed” reading at 90. Today, the coin is trading at $57,000 and the index is down to a “severe fear” reading of 26. That’s a level it hasn’t seen since 2023 when Bitcoin was worth just $17,000.

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss in detail why Bitcoin has fallen from all-time highs into a bear market.
The good news is that they expect it may be short-lived…
Several potential catalysts on the horizon could send Bitcoin and the broad crypto market higher – including interest rate cuts at the September Federal Reserve meeting, a Trump win in the presidential election, and an SEC approval of an Ethereum (ETH-USD) spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). These catalysts combined with extreme fear levels indicate that now could be the right time to start adding exposure to this asset class.
So what’s our plan?
