Bitcoin bleeds out while BlackRock doubles down — contrarian bounce setup

Created

Thesis

CoinDesk highlights that Bitcoin ETFs are bleeding money, with BlackRock's IBIT shedding $300 million as demand dries up. Yet, Cointelegraph reports that Bitcoin just violently bounced off a 21-month low of $57K, showing buyers are waiting in the wings. The strongest signal comes from another CoinDesk piece noting that BlackRock is actively pushing deeper into decentralized finance by integrating with Ethena, signaling they see long-term value despite the short-term rout. When the world's largest asset manager builds out crypto infrastructure while retail investors panic sell, it often marks a major inflection point. This combination points to a classic 'buy the fear' setup.

Strategy approach

Build a rule-based strategy that enters long BTC-USD on D1 when the price bounces more than 3% off a 90-day low, signaling a potential bottom. Exit with a 6% trailing stop or a 30-day max hold.
