Hear me out - this could actually be bullish territory.

Look at the CME gaps sitting at $88k and around $90-91k. History shows these almost always get filled. But here's the thing that really matters: most traders are watching this dip and freaking out, convinced the whole rally is about to implode like every other pump.

That panic? That's exactly the contrarian setup you want to see. When CT are this bearish and the market still hasn't collapsed, it suggests there's real support underneath. The gap-filling theory combined with extreme pessimism from the crowd often precedes explosive moves.

So yeah, on paper it looks rough. But sometimes the best opportunities hide in plain sight when everyone's too scared to look.

Oh my, the gap theory is back again, claiming it will be filled every time. Is this really the time? Listening to the reverse layout so much that my ears are getting calloused, but it often ends up cutting the leeks in the opposite direction. Bottom support? I can't quite see it clearly. The crowd's panic is often the most dangerous; don't get caught in the trap. Let's wait and see if it can break through 91k, or else it will continue to dip further.

Gaps are mandatory; panic is an opportunity, it's that simple.

Gaps are mandatory, and panic is a contrarian signal. I've heard this logic too many times haha. Just listen and judge with real money. History will repeat itself but never exactly the same. Be careful not to get cut.

I won't sleep until the gap is filled. This time, I truly feel something different.

The 88-91k gap... I've been monitoring it on the chain for three days. There are obvious anomalies in large transfers, and institutional address clusters are quietly accumulating. If you don't believe it, check the wallet flow.

Bro, I love this logic. It's both a gap and reverse sentiment—it's a nested doll.

The gap from 88 to 91 really needs to be filled; the historical pattern is right there. Contrarian thinking is the real way to make money; the deeper the panic, the greater the opportunity. A bleak chart doesn’t mean there are no opportunities; it all depends on how scared others are. This wave of extreme sentiment actually indicates that the bottom is solid enough. I wouldn’t believe the CME gap won’t be filled; it’s just a matter of time. When everyone is panicking and flustered, that’s often the best time to get in. It looks like it’s about to explode; it all depends on who can withstand the psychological pressure and hold on.

Uh, no, will the 88k gap really fill? It feels like everyone is talking about this theory. This wave of panic looks just like the situation before the last bottom... Going against the trend is a bit risky. The worst thing is that this time might really be different, and retail investors are all trying to buy the dip.

The 88k gap really needs to be filled; the history is right there. The more the crowd panics, the more excited I get. Honestly, the bottom support hasn't broken, waiting for the explosion. It looks terrible on paper, but the opportunity is in the panic. The gap theory combined with pessimistic sentiment—this is a perfect combo. Real bottom guys are lurking at low levels. The most feared thing is when everyone knows, but this time is different. The support level hasn't broken, indicating someone is taking over. Contrarian thinking is the survival rule of this market. Panic moments are the biggest test of mentality. I am bullish.
