The T-Rex 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCZ, saw a sharp outflow of $1,530,366 on January 07, 2026, a move that clipped roughly 15.0% from its latest assets under management. The leveraged inverse product now oversees about $10.2 million in AUM, underscoring how quickly capital can rotate out of niche, high-octane strategies when sentiment shifts or performance turns.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $90,635.99, down roughly 19.7% over the past three months. Despite that sizable drawdown, Bitcoin’s short-term technical picture is weak, with a 1-day signal of Sell. That combination—medium-term price pressure but a bearish near-term setup—may be prompting some traders to reduce leveraged inverse exposure rather than double down, especially after a volatile quarter in digital assets.
