With Bitcoin still weak, inverse Bitcoin ETFs are starting to take off, including:
ProShares Short Bitcoin (BITI)
The ProShares Short Bitcoin (BITI) tracks the S&P CME Bitcoin Futures Index, with profitability computed daily (before fees and expenses) as the inverse (-1x) of the index’s daily performance. As Bitcoin has collapsed, the BITI ETF rallied from a recent low of $20.64 to a recent high of $24. Should Bitcoin break down even more, BITI could rally to $29.
ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF (SBIT)
We can also look at the ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF (SBIT). With an expense ratio of 0.95% and monthly dividends, the ETF seeks daily investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to -2x the daily performance of the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index.
As Bitcoin has collapsed, the SBIT ETF rallied from a recent low of $35.70 to a recent high of $46.25. Should Bitcoin break down even more, SBIT could rally to $60.
Markets are mixed again.
The S&P 500 is down 0.32%. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is down 0.35%. The Nasdaq is down 0.53%, as the Dow clings to a 0.02% gain.
Not helping, shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) are dropping on a Wall Street Journal report that its plan to invest $100 billion in OpenAI stalled, with some expressing doubts the deal will happen at all. As noted by CNBC, “Despite the $100 billion deal being stalled, Nvidia plans to move forward with another investment in Open AI.”
Earnings are on Deck
In the days ahead, we’ll see earnings from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which is expected to post EPS of $1.97 a share for the fourth quarter. For the full fiscal year 2025, the company is expected to post EPS of $7.17, up about 30% year over year. For the full fiscal year 2026, analysts expect EPS between $7.87 and $7.91. Ahead of earnings, analysts at Wedbush reiterated an outperform rating with a price target of $340 a share.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) will post fourth quarter earnings after the bell on Tuesday. Analysts expect the company to post EPS of 1.32 a share, which would be 21.1% year over year growth. Revenues are expected to come in around $9.67 billion, up 26.2% year over year. In its last earnings report, the company beat estimates with EPS of $1.20 on sales of $9.2 billion.
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) will post fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings on Wednesday after market close.
Analysts anticipate EPS of about $2.58 to $2.59, or 20% to 20.5% year-over-year growth. For the full fiscal year 2025, Wall Street expects diluted EPS to grow by 31.6% annually to $10.58, followed by a 4.4% improvement to $11.04 in fiscal 2026.
Analysts at Raymond James just upgraded GOOG to a strong buy with a price target of $400 per share. As noted by TheStreet.com, “Raymond James is making the argument that Google’s AI stack is ‘shifting to high gear,’ possibly driving “material upward revisions” to medium-term estimates.”
Bitcoin Could Drop Even More
Bitcoin has stumbled out of the gate this year, retreating sharply after its run to record highs.
The cryptocurrency is trading below $77,610, and some market participants warn the selloff may not be over. More bearish forecasts see Bitcoin falling below $60,000, with extreme downside scenarios pointing to levels near $30,000.
Several analysts cite weakening technicals and a fragile market. Crypto commentator Crypto Bitlord recently flagged $30,000 as a key long-term support level. He argues that the latest decline—triggered by a broader global market selloff—has further to run.
Plus, profit-taking has coincided with thinning liquidity and a lack of incremental buyers, according to CoinDesk. CoinDesk added that demand has faded, leaving prices more vulnerable to forced selling and derivatives-driven liquidations.
Bitcoin’s decline has been strengthened by a stronger U.S. dollar following President Trump’s decision to tap Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve, a move that has reduced the appeal of Bitcoin as an alternative currency and inflation hedge.
