Bitcoin went through another rough stretch this week. Prices dropped fast, sentiment turned negative and fear spread across the market. During this period, Andrew Webley, CEO of The Smarter Web Company, shared his view on the situation. He said that loud fear and heavy volatility often show up near market bottoms. But he also noted that nobody can time the exact bottom.
Andrew Webley made it clear that his approach hasn’t changed. His plans are to keep buying Bitcoin over time, no matter the short term price swings. His comments came just days after his company began trading on the London Stock Exchange.
FUD and Volatility Often Appear Near Bottoms
Andrew Webley said that after more than 25 years of investing. He has learned one key lesson. Investors cannot reliably pick the bottom. But they should watch the overall sentiment. He explained that when price swings get wider, fear grows louder
At the same time, some investors begin to give up. SWC CEO said that emotional point often signals the start of a bottoming process. Still, he didn’t claim that a reversal is guaranteed. He stressed that only time will tell where the market goes next. His comment focused more on mindset than on price predictions.
Long-Term Bitcoin Strategy Remains Unchanged
Despite the recent drop, Andrew Webley said his confidence in BTC remains strong. He described Bitcoin as “digital capital in its purest form.” With that belief, he plans to keep buying Bitcoin over time. Additionally, He said that investing shouldn’t depend on calling the exact bottom
But companies should build strategies that work across all market conditions. Which includes bull markets, bear markets and flat periods. The Smarter Web Company follows this kind of approach. The firm holds BTC as part of its treasury strategy. It aims to grow its holdings over the long term. Rather than trade short term swings.
Market Drop Triggered Fear Across Crypto
The comments came after a sharp Bitcoin correction. The price fell heavily from late 2025 highs. The drop triggered large liquidations across the market. Volatility also surged to levels not seen since major past crashes. But the price later showed signs of recovery. This kind of movement often creates emotional reactions in investors. Some sell out of fear, while others see the dip as an opportunity. Andrew Webley admits that these periods feel uncomfortable. Still, he said investors should remember why they bought BTC in the first place.
Confidence Over Timing the Market
In the end, Andrew Webley’s message is simple. He doesn’t try to guess exact turning points. Instead, he focuses on long term conviction. He believes BTC may not fall much further from current levels. Also, if history repeats, any recovery could come faster than expected. For now, his strategy remains steady. The SWC CEO plans to keep buying and holding Bitcoin, regardless of short term noise.
