Options Market Signals Cautious Optimism for BTC & ETH 📊⚖️
According to PANews, a recent options market analysis from Matrixport points to a market that remains defensive—but no longer in full risk-off mode.
🔍 Key takeaways from BTC & ETH options:
Since late August, option skew has stayed negative for both assets, meaning downside protection (puts) is priced higher than upside calls.
Implied volatility for put options has risen, reflecting persistent caution and demand for hedging.
BTC’s skew is weaker than ETH’s, suggesting BTC traders are slightly less defensive compared to ETH participants.
