<p>The <strong>iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) is struggling to maintain momentum after a strong start to 2024. While the ETF is up 22.08% year-to-date, it's down a troubling 20.94% over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IBIT/news">the last six months</a>. </p>
<p>After an initial surge following its Jan. 11 debut, IBIT has slipped, leaving investors wondering whether the hype around Bitcoin ETFs is fading.</p>
<p>Famed <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) critic <strong>Peter Schiff</strong> hasn't missed the opportunity to weigh in. In a recent post, he pointed out that Bitcoin ETFs, including IBIT, have underperformed, gaining less than 17% since launch. </p>
<p>In contrast, gold ETFs, like <strong>SPDR Gold Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), have surged 24% despite losing investor interest. Schiff jabbed at Bitcoin investors, suggesting they "bet on the wrong horse."</p>

<p>Yet, not everyone is so bearish. <strong>Matt Hougan</strong>, CIO of Bitwise Asset Management, sees Bitcoin ETFs as a historic success, with investment advisors adopting them at record rates.</p>
<p>The catch? These impressive flows are being overshadowed by even larger investments elsewhere, muting the overall impact.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IBIT Facing Strong Bearish Signals</h2>
<p>From a technical perspective, things look grim for IBIT. The ETF is trading below its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, signaling a strong bearish trend. </p>

<p>With the current price at $32.58, in sync with its eight-day SMA at $32.55, and trading lower than the 20-day SMA of $33.67, and the 50-day SMA of $34.59, the charts are flashing warning signs.</p>

<p>The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) stands at a negative 0.76, signaling further downward momentum, while the RSI (Relative Strength Index) of 45.28 suggests the ETF is neutral, so not quite at bounce-back territory. </p>
<p>Bollinger Bands indicate IBIT is hovering in the lower band of its range, cementing its bearish signal in the short term.</p>
<p>As Bitcoin ETFs face increasing scrutiny, IBIT investors may need to prepare for more turbulence ahead. </p>
<p>Will it bounce back, or has Schiff's "wrong horse" prophecy already begun to take shape?</p>
