The T-Rex 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCZ, attracted $1.56 million in new money on March 27, 2026, marking a notable inflow for the bearish leveraged vehicle. With assets under management now at $28.80 million, the latest flow represents roughly 5.4% of the fund’s capital base, signaling a decisive shift in positioning rather than routine rebalancing.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $66,098.99 after a bruising three months in which it has shed about 24.6% of its value. Short-term momentum remains weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, a backdrop that likely emboldened traders seeking leveraged downside exposure through BTCZ.
The scale of Wednesday’s inflow suggests investors are not merely hedging but actively leaning into the view that bitcoin’s pullback has room to run. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
