🚀 BTC Options Market Shows Distinct Gamma Structure

According to BlockBeats, on-chain data analyst Murphy has analyzed the current structure of the BTC options market, revealing a distinct Gamma configuration characterized by a predominance of Call buying at higher levels and Put selling at lower levels. This creates a typical 'short on top, long on bottom' Gamma structure.

When the price is within the dense Call buying range of $113,000 to $125,000, market makers find themselves in a short Gamma zone. In this scenario, price increases necessitate passive spot buying for hedging, which can amplify upward movements. Conversely, price declines require passive selling, potentially accelerating downward trends. This range is identified as a 'volatility amplification zone,' where market makers' hedging needs are most sensitive, leading to stronger passive buying and selling feedback.

If the price falls below $106,000, market makers enter a long Gamma zone. Here, during price declines, market makers buy spot for hedging, providing a buffer and support in the lower region, known as the 'Gamma support zone.' When prices enter this long Gamma range, market makers' hedging behavior shifts to 'buying on dips,' offering natural support and absorbing lower volatility, leading to a tendency for prices to stabilize. This analysis is intended for educational purposes and should not be considered investment advice.

🚀 Significant Changes in BTC Funding Structure Observed

According to BlockBeats, on January 19, on-chain data analyst Murphy reported a significant shift in the BTC funding structure. Compared to January 12, the $88,000 Long Gamma has disappeared, transitioning to Short Gamma. Meanwhile, the $90,000 level maintains Long Gamma, but the Gamma Exposure (GEX) has decreased from $1.2 billion to $590 million, nearly halving. This indicates a substantial weakening of the support force generated by the funding structure between $88,000 and $90,000. Conversely, the GEX at $92,000 has surged to $1.4 billion, suggesting increased BTC volatility.

Analyzing the URPD data, the chip structure has not undergone significant changes, with a large accumulation of chips still present between $87,000 and $92,000. This range remains the strongest support zone, making it difficult to breach easily. However, if extreme conditions lead to a breakdown of this range, the probability of BTC filling the lower 'gap' increases significantly. According to the 'dual anchor structure' principle, the midpoint is approximately between $72,000 and $74,000.

🚀 Bitcoin's Gamma Shift Indicates Increased Volatility

According to Odaily, on-chain analyst Murphy shared insights on the X platform, noting a shift in Bitcoin's gamma positioning. The $88,000 Long Gamma has transitioned to Short Gamma, while the $90,000 Long Gamma remains unchanged. However, the Gamma Exposure (GEX) has decreased from $1.2 billion to $590 million. At $92,000, the GEX has reached $1.4 billion, suggesting an increase in volatility.

URPD data indicates a significant accumulation of positions between $87,000 and $92,000, marking the strongest support zone currently. If this range is breached, the likelihood of filling the gap below increases, with the midpoint estimated around $72,000 to $74,000.

🚀 Understanding Net Premium and Its Implications in Options Trading

Crypto KOL Murphy posted on X that a negative Net Premium indicates that a particular strike price option has been net sold, meaning the seller is the active party. Typically, market makers are passive participants, so the heatmap often reflects the active betting results from the user side. However, market makers also adjust their positions and inventory actively. Therefore, it is not accurate to identify the seller solely based on the Net Premium.

To make a comprehensive judgment, it is necessary to consider how long the negative value persists, whether it is accompanied by an increase in open interest (OI), and if the spot price is being suppressed. If the price fluctuates within the negative value range and volatility is compressed, it usually indicates a Long Gamma zone. For instance, as observed for the February 27 expiration date, the GEX positions around 60,000 and 68,000 are positive, closely aligning with the heatmap positions.
