Crypto is crashing and experts say don't catch the knife — short Bitcoin and Eth
Thesis
Bitcoin has already lost over $1.3 trillion in market value, and Bloomberg reports that even seasoned crypto veterans are warning against trying to catch the falling knife — the signal is 'not yet' for bargain hunters. Layering on top of that, the US is now conducting multiple rounds of military strikes against Iran, which historically drives investors away from risky assets and toward safe havens. When a market is already in a downtrend and a fresh geopolitical fear event hits, it typically accelerates the selling pressure rather than reversing it.
Strategy approach
Build a trend-following short strategy on ETH and BTC using the D1 timeframe. Entry: when price is below the 50-day moving average AND there is a confirmed macro geopolitical trigger (US military action overseas). Exit: 7% profit target or 4% stop loss, max 14-day hold.
