Bitcoin ignores tech sell-off as regulatory breakthrough looms — swing trade the
Created
Thesis
Bitcoin is quietly brushing off a tech-stock sell-off and eyeing a breakout to $70,000. The biggest catalyst is Washington: the President just agreed to ethics provisions on a new crypto bill, pushing the industry's biggest regulatory hurdle closer to resolution. Add Wall Street's largest money manager declaring the crypto washout over and calling Bitcoin stable, and you have a recipe for institutional money to flow back in. This sets up a swing trade to capture the upside as momentum builds.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based swing trading strategy for BTCUSD on the Daily (D1) timeframe. Go long when BTCUSD closes green on a day the Nasdaq (QQQ) closes down at least 1%. Exit the trade if BTCUSD closes below its 20-day simple moving average, or hold for a maximum of 15 trading days. Cap risk with a 6% stop loss.
