Bitcoin options traders are paying a premium for put options expiring the day after the US midterm elections, reflecting increased demand for downside protection amid recent Binance security issues and bearish sentiment. The implied volatility gap between puts and calls narrows for later expiries, indicating the extra cost is centered around the election date. Bitcoin is holding support near $76,000, with a close above $79,500 seen as a recovery signal. Historically, Bitcoin has risen a year after midterms, though short-term post-election moves have been mixed.
