Why Bitcoin’s Resilience Has Me Betting on BIG Move Over the Next Few Weeks

Bitcoin just did something I didn’t expect earlier this week — it held up like a rock while the rest of the market dropped. That kind of strength gets my attention, and it’s why I just put on a trade with a 122% upside in three weeks.

I’m talking about a new Apex setup on IBIT, the spot Bitcoin ETF. The trade’s pretty simple — and the math is even better.

And things are looking great

Betting on a Small Move for a Big Return

I did a simple Wrap Order, buying the $54 strike call expiring on May 16, and selling the $55 call expiring the same day.

The profit target is $58. The stop is $43. IBIT only needs to climb about 2% from where I entered, and if it does that by May 16, I lock in a 122% return, which means things are looking good because IBIT is up 2.5% today!

If you’d like to do a similar trade, just remember to adjust your strike prices and make sure they “wrap” around the current price of the stock.

That’s the beauty of these Apex setups — they’re custom-fit for each asset and give us a clean, high-probability trade. And when the signal lines up with real-world momentum like we’re seeing in Bitcoin right now, it’s a no-brainer.

Bitcoin’s been decoupling from the major indexes in the best way possible. It peeled away from the S&P 500 (SPY) during the recent pullback and has pushed higher while stocks just went sideways.

Week over week, it’s up more than 5%.

It’s rare to see an asset that’s this strong, especially in a market that’s been so shaky. But this isn’t just about price — it’s about behavior. Bitcoin’s acting like a leader again, and when I see that, I want in.

Why IBIT Over the Coin Itself

I’m using IBIT here because it trades just like a stock or ETF. No wallets, no crypto accounts, no friction. If you know how to buy SPY, QQQ or Apple (AAPL), you know how to trade IBIT.

That makes this one of the easiest ways to put some risk on Bitcoin with a real edge — and without having to bet the farm. You don’t need a massive move. You just need a little continuation, and the trade pays off in a big way.

So if you’re bullish on Bitcoin and you want in with a strategy that gives you leverage and control, this trade is worth a serious look. It’s already on my screen.
