Bitcoin2026-10-04 06:43:50Trader Killa says post-midterm de-risking may offer a better point to consider BTC hedgesWell-known trader Killa said he does not expect Bitcoin to set a fresh low and is still holding a long position. In his view, the more relevant risk window may come after the U.S. midterm elections, when parts of the market could shift into de-risking mode. That is why he does not see this as the right time to open hedge shorts in advance. Killa also pointed to a historical pattern: in every U.S. midterm election cycle, Bitcoin’s performance after the election has been relatively weak. Even so, he argued that traders should not short solely on the basis of that cycle history. If Bitcoin continues to rise before the vote, he said, traders can wait until the election draws closer and then decide whether to act based on price action at that time. For now, his preferred approach is to keep long exposure, watch how the market reacts around the midterm election, and only then reassess whether hedge shorts make sense.460
Bitcoin2026-08-06 12:39:50Bitcoin Nears Fifth Pivot Point, Analyst Killa Warns of Possible De-RiskingOn August 6, well-known analyst Killa said in a post that Bitcoin has rallied early this month as he anticipated, and the asset is now approaching the 'fifth pivot point' — a level he says deserves close attention. Over the past roughly 18 months, taking the opposite side of the prevailing market narrative during this phase has repeatedly captured counter-moves of about 3% to 4%, he noted. If that historical pattern continues to hold, BTC could see some partial de-risking behavior after passing this pivot point. Killa, however, warned that last time price did drop as expected, but because Bitcoin was stuck in a complex range, the move never became a clean one-way decline. Instead, the market kept consolidating until the next pivot point. He said historical tendencies still point toward contrarian trading, but the current environment is complex, with price structure and timing carrying equal weight.1980
