But I can tell you, there are a number of sovereign funds that are standing by, they're adding incrementally at 120, 100
I know they bought more in the 80s. That's fine. And they're establishing a longer position, and you own it over years. This is not a trade.

I've spent years talking about Bitcoin as a wild, untamed, anti-establishment thing, a decentralized version of money, people's money, with no banks, no suits, and no middlemen. Well, all of a sudden Wall Street has now officially shown up. They've slapped a nice little ETF label on it, and suddenly the game has become rigged on a schedule you could set your watch to.
Thankfully, I've turned into more of a trader after seeing these events. And tonight, I'm going to show you something that the powers that be really don't want you paying attention to. Blackrock and the other big crypto ETF operators have turned Bitcoin into their very own predictable cash register. And here's exactly how it works.
All day long, while the stock market is open, regular investors and institutions buy shares of Blackrock's iBit and other spot Bitcoin ETFs. Every single time that they click buy, cash begins to flow straight into the ETF issuer. These are real US dollars, real money, but here's the part almost nobody wants to talk about. Blackrock doesn't turn around and buy the Bitcoin the second the cash hits their account. Instead, they wait. They wait until the very end of that trading day. The same time every single weekday. Now, this is right around 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern close, when the New York Stock Exchange bell rings and the NAV gets calculated. The authorized participants and the ETF custodians go into the market and begin purchasing Bitcoin.
They buy the actual coins they need to back all of these new shares that have just been created. This is not random. It's not spread out across 24 hours. It is scheduled, concentrated buying sprees that happen like clockwork. Think about what this means. Wall Street isn't guessing. They're not reacting to news or charts. They have it built in, a daily order flow that forces them to buy Bitcoin at a specific time whether the price is high, low or in freefall. Cash came in all day and I tested this yesterday at the circled point here, right at the beginning of 3 p.m. The rules are that they have to back these shares by the end of that day.
So they buy every day if the inflows are there at the same exact time, the same channel. And now crypto traders, you must listen up to this because this is the part that actually matters to you. This has been a hunch for a very long time. Between 3 to 4 p.m. I noticed algorithmic buying and algorithmic dumping at the exact same time window. You now have something like so-called smart money that never wanted you to have. A perfect visibility. You know exactly when the big boys have to start buying. You can watch the ETF inflow numbers in real time. I like to use coin glass, but there's a slew of different platforms that you can use to find this information. This is how I position myself right before the end of the day window. When the hammer drops, you're already sitting there waiting for the predictable bid or sell off that lifts the entire market or crashes it back down to levels of support. This is the ultimate edge in a market that was supposed to be impossible to manipulate. The very mechanism that was sold to you as institutional adoption is now the most reliable daily catalyst on the charts. It's made me a lot of money and I'm going to keep using this until they have to change up their tune. Blackrock isn't just participating in Bitcoin. They're creating a daily liquidity event for you. You can trade around with surgical precision. Of course, the financial press won't call it manipulation. They'll call it efficient market making or standard creation metrics. But let's be honest here. Another day of positive news headlines, another day of ETF spot creation. If a couple guys in a basement coordinated to buy Bitcoin at the exact time, every single day, the SEC would have them in cuffs before the next candle closed. But when Blackrock does it with billions of dollars, it's just how the product works. Folks, this is what happens when the establishment finally gets its hands on the revolution. They don't kill it, they schedule it, they tame it, and they turn the most chaotic asset in history into something that trades like a utility stock.
But here's the beautiful irony.
