Bitcoin options pricing has shifted to a more defensive stance as bullish sentiment cools for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. The seven-day skew for Bitcoin fell to -0.45 volatility points, indicating put options are now more favored than call options, reflecting a higher demand for downside protection. Despite this shift, put options remain relatively inexpensive, suggesting traders are hedging cautiously rather than panicking. This change could signal short-term hedging activity or a new market phase, but current data do not clarify which scenario is occurring.
