I’m live at 1 p.m. ET TODAY ahead of the long holiday weekend… and I’ve been crushing MLK Day weekend for a couple of years now!
The new Bitcoin ETFs started trading after finally getting SEC approval late Wednesday. I’ve never been a big crypto guy, but I’ll offer my thoughts in today’s video…
Because this offers opportunities for options traders like us, particularly for selling premium.
In fact, ETFs provide a way to trade Bitcoin without being affected by single stock news, making them more stable instruments — and I think some of these could be fantastic in terms of trading.
Here’s a list of the tradable tickers…

Bitcoin rallied over 5% this morning to almost $49K before falling negative, and even more volatility than normal is to be expected.
So implied volatility has been sky high — I recommend turning on the implied volatility setting on your trading platform of choice (which I did in my video).
Price movements may not fully correspond to options price changes due to that high implied volatility and market maker expectations.
Like I said, these instruments could be fantastic for trading…
But there’s a BUT here…
Be sure and check out my video up top and I’ll break it all down for you.

P.S. It’s Time for Another Long Weekend Effect
We’re about to embark on yet another long holiday weekend.
And for us…
It’s ANOTHER chance to leverage an anomaly I call the “Long Weekend Effect.”
My track record for finding winners over long weekends is insane…
In fact, over MLK Day weekend, I’m 6 for 6.
I mean, look at this:
- 4.8% on PYPL.
- 8.2% on GOOGL.
- 23.5% on WEN.
- 54.8% on CRSR.
- 68.5% on LVS.
And while I can never promise future returns or against losses, I’m going for it again this year.
If you want to learn what these long weekend trades are all about, and see which three stocks are likely to pay out over the long MLK weekend…
Join me LIVE at 4 p.m. ET TODAY, and I’ll show you why I’m so bullish about it.
Past performance is not indicative of any future results. Trade at your own risk. From 9/20/21 – 1/9/24 on live trades the win rate is 71.5%, the average return is 13.8% on the options over a 3 day average hold time, with an annualized return of 968.52%.
