Bitcoin Acting Like a True Currency Diversifier
It’s been playing out exactly as expected — a currency diversifier amid the ongoing chaos.
With tariff headlines hitting every 16 seconds, the dollar is weakening, and Bitcoin is rallying on lower volatility — especially outside the heavily weighted crosses (Euro, Pound, Yen, etc.).
That’s been a win for both the signal and our discretionary read that picked it up.
Monday’s Note
I mentioned this during Monday’s pullback —
That entry was at $53.61 (IBIT).
As of this morning’s pre-market: $56.50 — up +5.4%.
How I Trade It
This is exactly how I use the system:
Signals + Macro + Discretionary read, working together.
So today, I’m scaling back the position after adding on Monday within the broader Buy Signal.
That frees up dry powder in case we get weakness — and I’ll be ready to step in again if and when that happens.
Still Room for a Pullback
Even if Bitcoin is on the path toward new highs, I still think we could see a healthy pullback first — and I plan to trade around the core position inside that broader bull trend.
And when the bull signal eventually flips?
I’ll rotate capital and focus on the next opportunity worth our attention.
