According to Dan Tapiero, CEO of 10Tfund, the VIX has hit 60 only five times in the last 35 years, and data suggests a rebound for risk assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) in 6 to 12 months.

As illustrated in the chart, extreme spikes were seen in 2008 and 2020, typically coinciding with market bottoms, where panic-driven sellers paved the way for generational market entries.<br \/>\nIn light of that, Tapiero argued that the current spike is no different, with the worst of market fears likely &#8220;priced in,&#8221; setting the stage for a positive future. Tapiero said that \u201codds favor better future.\u201d<br \/>\nLikewise, Julien Bittel, head of macro research at Global Macro Investor (GMI), supported Tapiero\u2019s claim and said that tech stocks are at their most oversold since the COVID-19 crash, with over 55% of Nasdaq 100 stocks posting a 14-day RSI below 30. Such a market signal has occurred only during major crises like the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.<br \/>\nAmerican Association of Individual Investors survey. Source: X.comBittel explained that after the VIX touched 60 last week, it implied peak uncertainty, which breeds fear in investors\u2019 minds. Briefly touching on the US Investors Intelligence Survey, Bittel compared the current bullish sentiment of 23.6% to the lowest reading since December 2008.<br \/>\nAdditionally, the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) survey respondents are currently 62% bearish, reflecting the highest bearish reading since March 2009. Bittel said,<br \/>\n\u201cIn other words, we\u2019re back at the same levels of fear that marked the bottom of the equity market after the Global Financial Crisis.\u201d<br \/>\nThis widespread fear, alongside a rare VIX spike, sets up for market entries in assets like Bitcoin, as the recovery of market liquidity will inevitably flow back into risk-on assets.<br \/>\nRelated: Saylor, ETF investors\u2019 \u2018stronger hands\u2019 help stabilize Bitcoin \u2014 Analyst<br \/>\nAnalyst warns Bitcoin VIX trends are bearish<br \/>\nWhile macroeconomic experts highlighted the possibility of a bullish outcome for risk assets, markets analyst Tony Severino suggested that the Bitcoin\/VIX ratio might also lead to a bear market. In a recent X post, Severino predicted that Bitcoin could have already peaked this cycle, but remained open about a possible change in opinion by the end of April.<br \/>\nBitcoin VIX analysis by Tony Severino.
