On November 14th, COINOTAG reported insights from Thomas Erdösi, Product Lead at CF Benchmarks. Erdösi noted that recent market data highlights an increasing trend among traders purchasing Bitcoin call options with a striking execution price of $100,000. This surge in activity has led the 30-day constant maturity 25 delta skew to surpass the 5 vol threshold, nearing its highest point for the year, indicating a robust demand for upside exposure.
Moreover, the appetite for call options with strike prices exceeding $100,000 continues to rise. This growing interest is reflected in the marked increase in the implied volatility of these options, suggesting that traders are positioning themselves for potential significant price movements in the cryptocurrency market. The overall sentiment appears to favor the optimistic outlook for Bitcoin as traders hedge against future price fluctuations.
