BlackRock is launching a yield-paying Bitcoin ETF next week — accumulate BTC bef
Created
Thesis
When BlackRock launches a new financial product, it brings massive mainstream attention and new money into the market. A Bitcoin ETF that generates yield makes Bitcoin even more attractive to regular investors and big institutions who want to earn passive income. With the launch expected next week, smart money is likely to buy Bitcoin ahead of time, pushing the price up as the debut date gets closer.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy for BTCUSDT on the 4-hour (H4) timeframe. Enter a long position when the 50-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA, and the MACD line crosses above the signal line. Exit the trade if the price closes below the 50-period SMA, or set a 4% trailing stop. Cap holding period at 14 days.
