Analysis of online discourse reveals an interesting pattern, with words like “buy,” “buying,” “bought,” and “bullish” being used at approximately double the frequency of words like “sell,” “selling,” “sold,” or “bearish.”
This suggests that the sentiment among market participants leans towards optimism, even amidst the current downturn.
Historically, the most lucrative opportunities for buying the dip occur when there is a sense of fear in the crowd regarding further price drops.
This fear often prompts smaller investors to sell their holdings, allowing larger players such as whales and institutional investors to accumulate assets at lower prices.
