The 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF, BITX, drew fresh investor interest on January 27, 2026, with an estimated $12.78 million in net inflows despite mounting technical pressure on its underlying asset. The latest flow represents roughly 0.91% of the fund’s $1.41 billion in assets under management (AUM), a sizeable one-day allocation shift for a leveraged product tied to Bitcoin futures.
The scale of the new money suggests that some traders are positioning for a rebound in Bitcoin’s next leg, even as the broader market remains cautious. With inflows nearing 1% of AUM in a single session, BITX is seeing conviction trades rather than marginal rebalancing, underscoring its role as a high-octane vehicle for investors willing to lean into volatility.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,739.53, having fallen about 20.56% over the past three months. That drawdown highlights the depth of the recent correction in the crypto market, erasing a significant portion of prior gains and testing the resolve of momentum-driven buyers. Short-term sentiment remains fragile, with the 1-day technical signal flashing a clear warning: Strong Sell.
Yet BITX’s latest inflows indicate that not all market participants are capitulating. Instead, some appear to be using the price weakness—and the bearish technical backdrop—as an entry point for leveraged exposure, effectively betting that the current downtrend is closer to exhaustion than acceleration. The tug-of-war between those signals and the new capital flows will likely define near-term performance for both the ETF and its underlying crypto benchmark.
