There's a saying that goes well: when others are panicking, it's often the time when opportunities knock. This time, the bottoming of Ethereum around $2700 was not due to luck, but a keen sense of market rhythm.

Imagine a day when an investor came to me, full of helplessness in their tone: "I only have 2000 dollars left, if I miss this chance, I won't be able to turn things around." At that time, the entire market was overwhelmed by panic, and Ethereum's price was hovering at a low level. My advice was straightforward—don't act recklessly, follow the rhythm, and wait for signals before taking action.

When ETH dropped to around $2700, I told him it was a good time to buy in stages. He didn't hesitate, nor did he cut his losses out of fear. The result? In a short period, ETH surged above $3000, and his funds tripled.

This is not some fairy tale, but something many calm investors have experienced recently.

How bad was the market collapse back then? The Crypto Fear & Greed Index once dropped to 9, the lowest since the COVID-19 market crash in March 2020, signaling the market had entered an "extreme fear" mode.

Panic has its reasons. Major institutions transferred large amounts of Ethereum to exchanges, directly breaking the psychological barrier of $3000. Even more painful was that Ethereum ETFs experienced large-scale outflows, with a single-day net outflow approaching $225 million.

But ironically, this widespread societal panic created the most valuable buying window. There is a fundamental rule in the market: when everyone is afraid, prices are usually severely undervalued. Historical experience shows that when the Fear & Greed Index drops below 20, long-term investors who hold their positions tend to earn the most substantial profits.
