BITU is trading at $15.25, down 4.09% in pre-market as higher oil prices, Treasury yields and a firmer U.S. dollar pressured Bitcoin.
- Selling intensified as leveraged crypto longs were liquidated; traders are also watching for the October 7 FOMC minutes.
- U.S. futures were lower amid cautious risk sentiment, while Middle East supply concerns lifted oil. BITUβs leveraged Bitcoin exposure likely magnifies the decline; no pre-market volume data was supplied.
