According to recent data from COINOTAG, dated August 19th, the Bitcoin options market experienced a significant event last Friday, with premiums peaking at approximately $226 million. Notably, around 69% of this premium comprised call options, signaling an intense recalibration of risk by both bullish and bearish investors. However, by the following Monday, this premium had notably decreased to around $18 million. This shift illustrated a marked increase in put options within the market, while call options showed minimal variation, indicating a decline in hedging demand. Analysts suggest that these dynamics may point towards an impending phase of consolidation or a contraction in volatility as market participants reassess their positions in light of evolving market conditions.
