Gold sees worst month since 2008 as Fed stays strict — short MicroStrategy as th
Thesis
Gold's worst month since 2008 proves that the Fed's aggressive policies are crushing inflation hedges and liquid assets. Citadel Securities is explicitly warning investors they are underestimating the Fed's determination, signaling more pain ahead for risk assets. The ultimate confirmation of this stress is Strategy pivoting to potentially sell Bitcoin to fund stock buybacks—a sign of severe financial pressure. Combining the gold collapse, Citadel's warning, and Strategy's panic creates a clear thesis to short Bitcoin proxies on the expectation of forced selling.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters short MSTR on D1 when BTCUSD drops below its 50-day moving average and gold makes a 20-day low, with a 21-day max hold and a 8% trailing stop.
