Bitcoin options skew drops below 1% as traders await Fed rate decision, BTC and ETH prices rise.

Bitcoin's one-week options skew fell below 1%, down from nearly 10% the previous week, indicating reduced demand for short-term downside protection ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Markets expect a 92% chance that the Fed will keep rates unchanged, with traders focusing on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments for future rate hike signals. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $176 million in net inflows over two days, while crypto futures volume rose 7.5% to $163.2 billion. Bitcoin and Ether prices increased by 2.3% and 2.7% respectively, despite slight changes in open interest. The options skew for longer terms remains tilted toward puts, reflecting some defensive positioning.

Bitcoin's one-week options skew is the subject, with Pluang market data as context for readers. As of Oct 28, 2026 21:22 WIB, out of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang, 38 rose and 11 fell today.
