I'm pretty convinced crypto is heading for a breakout year. The thing is, nobody seems to see it coming.

Look at the pattern. Early 2025? Pure bullish euphoria. Then things fell apart. Now here we are in early 2026 and the mood has completely flipped—everyone's deep in bearish territory. But that's usually when things don't play out the way people expect.

It's the classic contrarian setup. When sentiment swings this hard from one extreme to the other, that's often when the market does something different. The herd mentality tends to be wrong at the extremes. So while most traders are bracing for more pain, I think we're actually setting up for something much stronger ahead.

Huh? Starting to talk about reverse indicators again, our industry loves to be armchair strategists after the fact.

Bro, I've heard this spiel too many times. Every time, you say that doing the opposite will make a fortune. So, what's the result?

Here we go again with this set of contrarian indicators? Fine, let's just consider it the prelude to the next bankruptcy story.

Here comes this set of reverse operation theories again? Honestly, I'm just waiting to be proven wrong; it always happens like this anyway.

Here comes the argument of reverse operation again, but to be honest, I've heard this logic too many times.

Anyway, I remain optimistic. It's often when you're pessimistic that the beginning starts.

ngl I've heard this reverse operation theory too many times, always saying the bottom has arrived... but it keeps breaking new lows.

To be honest, I've heard this extreme sentiment reversal argument too many times. Every time, they say you can make big money by doing the opposite, but what’s the result?
