Bitcoin options traders have shifted to a bullish stance for the first time in a year, with calls now making up 61.39% of options open interest, signaling more demand for upside bets than downside protection. Futures open interest remains high at $52.64 billion, led by Binance and CME, but bitcoin's price is still near $78,000, well below its October 2025 peak of over $126,000. Key strike prices for calls cluster between $70,000 and $100,000, while max pain levels hover below current prices, indicating cautious optimism. This shift suggests traders are more willing to bet on price gains, though the market remains watchful as bitcoin's price must test these bullish expectations in the near term.
