Ethereum Options Turn Bullish in Early October as Call Demand Outpaces Puts; Long-Term Puts Still Carry Premium

COINOTAG reported on October 3 that Thahbib Rahman, a research analyst at options-data platform Block Scholes, observed a shift in the September bearish positioning within the Ethereum options market at the start of October. Rahman noted that demand for call options on near-term expiries now outstrips interest in put options, reflecting a short-dated change in the market’s supply-demand dynamics.

Rahman emphasized this development appears time-bound to October and that long-term put options continue to command a premium, consistent with prevailing implied volatility term structure and put-call skew. Market participants should factor these structural metrics into risk assessments rather than interpreting the transient increase in call buying as a persistent directional signal.
