Recently, an interesting phenomenon has emerged—the data from the Bitcoin options market shows that investors are quite optimistic about the short-term upward trend.
Looking at the data, among the options expiring on January 30th, the call options with a strike price of USD have become the main focus, with a huge open interest. More importantly, the notional value of these call options is more than double that of the put options with an $80,000 strike price for the same expiry. What does this mean? Market participants are clearly betting on Bitcoin's upside.
This configuration reflects the true sentiment of traders—they believe that the probability of an upward breakout within this time window is higher. The enormous scale of the call contracts indicates that it's not just retail investors involved; institutional funds are also participating.
From the perspective of the options market, this is a fairly clear signal: the market is optimistic about the trend before the end of January. Of course, the options market always carries uncertainty, but such data is indeed worth paying attention to.

Are institutions also betting on a rise? Then I need to leverage up.

Are institutions all betting on a rise? Then I'll go against the trend and give it a try. Anyway, I'm used to losing money, haha.

Institutions are all betting on the upward trend, what are retail investors still hesitating about?
