BITU - How Trump's Crypto Pivot Supports This Leveraged Play
Bitcoin's current bull run may extend beyond the usual 12-18 months due to Trump's pro-crypto policies, EU MiCA regulation, and Fed easing. BITU, a 2x leveraged Bitcoin ETF, could outperform if the bull run persists, but only suits active, disciplined traders due to volatility and compounding risks. Strategic trading in BITU requires tight risk controls, short holding periods, and continuous monitoring to avoid losses from volatility and futures roll costs.
BITU: Should You Buy This Leveraged ETF With Bitcoin At All-Time High?
BITU is a 2x leveraged Bitcoin ETF best suited for active traders aiming to time short-term market moves, not long-term investors. Despite Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs, BITU underperformed YTD due to volatility and the inherent risks of leveraged ETFs, including value decay. I remain very bullish on Bitcoin long term but would avoid entering BITU at current levels, preferring to hold Bitcoin directly instead.
Playing The Bitcoin Breakout With BITU
Bitcoin's chart shows a constructive trend, with animal spirits returning, suggesting a potential rally above $100k per coin. Bitcoin's correlation with tech stocks has increased since spot ETFs were approved. That said, it remains a strong anti-fiat asset as global M2 rises. Technical indicators are positive, with Bitcoin breaking key resistance levels and moving averages, signaling a potential upward price movement.

BITU: Knocking On The Door
BITU's long-term decay and daily rebalancing make it unsuitable for long-term holding; best used in sustained BTC uptrends. BTC's technical indicators show potential bullish signs if it can maintain above the 20-week moving average. Capital flows into BTC are strong, making up 94% of total crypto capital flow in 2024, indicating market preference.

BITU May Be Too Risky At 2x Leverage
ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF is a 2x leveraged BTC strategy for day traders seeking amplified returns. This product may not be suitable for long-term investors. BITU uses swap agreements and cash-settled futures contracts to achieve 2x daily returns relative to spot BTC prices. Returns may be amplified during periods of sequential gains and losses in the reference BTC index, resulting in returns outside of the 2x target.
