'I Like Bitcoin, But...': Jim Cramer

U.Today

DoubleZero / USD Coin

Popular commentator on financial markets Jim Cramer finally spoke about Bitcoin today, which he had not done in a long time, saying that he is fine with Bitcoin itself but not with the mechanics around it, pointing to how unnaturally BTC keeps sitting above $90,000 even when it looks weak.

His post hit while BTC traded around $91,500 after a dip to $89,800 that was immediately bought back. The setup fits almost perfectly the Inverse Kramer playbook. For those not familiar, whenever Cramer calls out stress or imbalance, traders start watching the opposite direction, and today’s price action supports that reaction.

Almost feels like a cabal is trying to keep Bitcoin above $90,000. I like Bitcoin but i do not like any of the derivatives created to play it or game it or mine it.

BTC has been holding the $90,000 zone with the same pattern seen all month: dips get absorbed fast, liquidity fills in instantly and the chart never develops a proper downside move. Nothing about that rebound looked organic; it looked structural, and the market treated it that way.

Bitcoin's "cabal" theory

It should be stressed that Cramer’s point was not about BTC’s long-term outlook. His focus was on the perps, leverage, structured products and miner hedges that shape short-term price behavior. Those instruments have boxed BTC into the $90,000-$92,000 area, but to the CNBC host it looks like a "cabal" helping the cryptocurrency to keep up.

This entire discussion lands on a day when the markets are preparing for a major catalyst. Nvidia reports earnings tonight, and options on NVDA are currently implying a 7-8% move. Traders are treating the report as the key risk benchmark and are already pricing in a swing.
