Three Ways to Trade the Pullback in Bitcoin
Posted On Dec 02, 2025 by Ian Cooper
Bitcoin (BTC) has been struggling. As of this writing, it was trading at $85,363, well below its all-time high of $123,400, which was reached on July 14, 2025.

Unfortunately, there could be more pain ahead if it can't catch support at around $80,000. In fact, if it breaks below that level, it could test its April low of about $75,000. And all this is happening as investors grow concerned about meager inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and an absence of dip buyers.
Cryptocurrency broadly faces macroeconomic concerns. Specifically, there's still uncertainty about whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its December meeting. And, as reported by CoinDesk.com, "Crypto markets were hit with a fresh wave of forced liquidations early Monday as nearly $646 million in leveraged positions were wiped out across major exchanges, adding to the month's bruising close and extending losses in bitcoin, ether and large-cap altcoins."
With all this negativity, BTC could easily slip even further. All of which offer us opportunities on the short side. Many investors avoid shorting individual stocks because they require leverage (and could lead to unspecified, and steep, losses).
Nevertheless, there are several exchange-traded funds that allow you to get the benefits of short selling with less risk.
ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF (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.
The ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF is a relatively young fund, having debuted in June 2022. It’s been on a downward trajectory for most of its time trading publicly. That’s because, as you might expect, when BTC moves higher, the BITI share price moves down. And the last three years have been mostly bullish for BTC.
Of course, the opposite is also true. That’s why, since BTC began to drop in October, the BITI ETF ran from about $16.54 to a recent high of $24.95. As of this writing, it was trading at $24.18 and could test $28, which would match its 52-week high.
ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF (SBIT)
Another ETF to consider is 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 another fund in the ProShares family, the SBIT ETF is even younger than the BITI fund. It has only been publicly traded since April 2024. That would seem like poor timing, since that correlated with BTC making its epic run to over $100,000.
But the fortunes have changed. Since October, the SBIT ETF has run from about $23.56 to a high of $51.86.
T-Rex 2x Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (BTCZ)
The T-Rex 2x Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (BATS: BTCZ) is an alternative to the ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF. It’s been trading publicly since July 2024.
With an expense ratio of 0.95%, the T-Rex 2x Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (BTCZ) seeks daily investment results of 200% of the inverse of the daily performance of spot Bitcoin.
Since October, the BTCZ ETF has run from about $2.30 to a high of $5.02. Now trading at $4.65, it could rally to $6 near term if Bitcoin continues to fall apart here.
Conclusion
Bitcoin's technical backdrop remains fragile, and a break below $80,000 could trigger a deeper correction. For traders seeking to capitalize on potential downside without the risks of shorting directly, inverse ETFs like BITI, SBIT, and BTCZ offer efficient and liquid vehicles to benefit from further weakness in BTC.
