🚀 Investors Brace for Potential Bitcoin and Ethereum Volatility

According to PANews, following a wave of liquidations last Friday, options market investors are preparing for potential further declines in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices by setting up protective positions. Sean Dawson, Head of Research at Derive.xyz, noted a significant increase in volatility last Friday, with market sentiment indicating heightened concern over short-term downside risks. Data shows traders are heavily purchasing 'put options' for Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting a hedging strategy against potential downturns.

In the Bitcoin market, there has been a substantial purchase of put options with strike prices of $115,000 and $95,000, expiring on October 31, while call options with a strike price of $125,000, expiring on October 17, have shifted from buying to selling, reflecting a pessimistic short-term outlook. Nick Foster, co-founder of Derive.xyz, highlighted that traders are focusing on options with strike prices of $4,000 (expiring October 31) and $3,600 (expiring October 17). He also observed a significant purchase of put options with a strike price of $2,600, expiring on December 26, indicating bearish sentiment persisting through the end of the year.

Nic Puckrin, co-founder of Coin Bureau, commented that the recent downturn has cleared excessive leverage, temporarily resetting market risk. However, Bitcoin now faces another challenge: it must break through key resistance levels to achieve meaningful new historical highs this year.

🚀 Bitcoin Options Market Sees Surge in Bearish Sentiment

According to PANews, recent analysis by Greeks.live reveals a significant increase in bearish sentiment within the Bitcoin options market. Over the past 24 hours, the proportion of large-scale bearish options transactions has risen sharply, accounting for more than $1.15 billion, or 28% of the total market transactions. These trades are primarily concentrated in shallow out-of-the-money put options for this week and month, with a high volume of activity between the $10,400 and $10,800 range.

Additionally, the skew has become more negatively biased, with a particularly noticeable short-term shift. The deepening of this negative bias is comparable to levels observed on the 11th, indicating a high level of fear among major market players, such as market makers, regarding potential market declines. This sentiment mirrors the panic seen after the market crash on the 11th. As a result, emulating these major players by purchasing put options as a defensive strategy may currently be a prudent choice.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Critical Support Test Amid Market Adjustments

According to BlockBeats, BRN's research director Timothy Misir highlighted that Bitcoin is currently testing the crucial $110,000 support level, accompanied by a reduction in holdings by major investors and a surge in demand for put options. The volume of large put option trades has exceeded $1.15 billion, accounting for 28% of the fund flow, while call options remain concentrated in the $115,000 to $130,000 range. Misir clarified that this is a selective portfolio adjustment rather than a panic sell-off. He added that although holders of 10,000 to 100,000 BTC have reduced their holdings by approximately 17,500 BTC, they remain net buyers for the year, having increased their holdings by over 318,000 BTC, indicating a position adjustment rather than a large-scale exit.

21Shares research strategist Matt Mena emphasized Bitcoin's resilience amid macroeconomic headwinds and aggressive deleveraging, demonstrating that structural demand anchored by ETF inflows and dovish policy expectations continues to support the market. Over the past month, U.S. ETFs have attracted more than $6 billion. Mena noted that with leverage clearing and policy easing approaching, the outlook for the end of the year is increasingly positive. If institutional demand persists, Bitcoin could potentially reach $150,000. However, the short-term technical outlook remains fragile: if Bitcoin effectively breaks below $110,000, it may test the $104,000-$108,000 range; if it can reclaim $115,000, it will regain bullish momentum.

🚀 Market Conditions Mirror Early 2022 Crypto Winter, Reports Glassnode

According to PANews, the latest weekly report from Glassnode highlights similarities between the current market conditions and the early stages of the 2022 bear market, also known as the crypto winter. During November to December, open interest has consistently declined, indicating a reduced risk appetite among investors, particularly following the flash crash on October 10. The options market reflects cautious sentiment, with investors preferring to sell rather than chase potential gains. Earlier this week, as Bitcoin's price approached $80,000, put options dominated the market. However, as prices stabilized, investor panic subsided, and funds shifted towards call options.

Perpetual contract funding rates have remained mostly neutral, with only brief periods of negative values, while funding premiums have significantly decreased. This suggests a more balanced market environment with reduced speculation. Demand for ETFs continues to weaken, with IBIT experiencing outflows for the sixth consecutive week, marking the longest streak of negative flows since its launch in January 2024. Over the past five weeks, redemptions have totaled more than $2.7 billion. Derivatives data further corroborates the decline in risk appetite.

🚀 BTC Options Trade Indicates Market Sentiment for Early 2024

According to ChainCatcher, a significant BTC options trade has been reported in the market. A user has purchased put options expiring at the end of January with a strike price of $90,000 and simultaneously sold put options expiring at the end of February at the same strike price, involving 375 BTC on each side. This strategy suggests the user anticipates a decline in BTC prices by the end of January, followed by a recovery above $90,000 in February.

Current market conditions have exhausted most favorable factors, leading some users to bet on a downturn due to the risk of being excluded from index components at the beginning of January. However, there is also optimism for a market rebound after February.

🚀 Federal Reserve's Rate Cut and Treasury Purchases Impact Crypto Market

According to Odaily, analyst Adam from Greeks.live reports that the Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points and resume a $40 billion monthly purchase of short-term Treasury bills is expected to improve financial system liquidity, benefiting the market. However, Adam cautions that with the Christmas holidays and year-end settlements approaching, the crypto market typically experiences low liquidity and activity during this period, making it premature to anticipate a bull market resurgence.

Options data indicates high concentration in BTC and ETH positions by the end of December, with BTC's maximum pain point at $100,000 and ETH's at $3,200. Meanwhile, the implied volatility for major expiration dates this month has been declining, reflecting a reduced expectation of short-term market fluctuations.

Adam also notes that the skew has remained negative this month, meaning that put options are priced higher than call options at the same Delta. This is due to the dominance of covered call strategies in a stable market, which suppresses call pricing, and the recent market weakness leading more traders to hedge against downside risks with puts.

Overall, the current sentiment in the crypto market is weak, with poor liquidity expected at year-end. The prevailing view in the options market suggests a 'slow decline,' though there is a need to remain cautious of any sudden positive developments that could lead to a short-term reversal, despite the low probability.
