Bitcoin and Ether markets show signs of recovery, but options data reveals traders remain cautious, favoring protective put options over bullish calls. Bitcoin's one-week put-call skew remains elevated at 16%, indicating ongoing demand for downside insurance despite some accumulation by long-term holders and ETF investors. Large institutional trades suggest range-bound expectations rather than outright bullish bets. With U.S. markets closed for Independence Day, liquidity may be thin, potentially causing volatile price moves.
