Bitcoin and Ethereum options data show that market concerns about a price decline still exist.

BTC-1,39%
ETH-3,74%

BlockBeats News, January 27 — According to CoinDesk, on Deribit, the prices of put options for BTC and ETH still generally remain higher than call options, indicating that market concerns about downside risks still persist. Analysts believe that downside protection has become a crowded trade, and for investors holding bullish views, call options appear relatively cheap.

From a directional positioning perspective, bearish spreads, volatility bets, and strategies such as straddles and wide spreads accounted for nearly 50% of all major Bitcoin options trading in the past 24 hours. Regarding Ethereum, traders prefer the “Iron Condor” strategy to profit from potential range-bound fluctuations.

Meanwhile, Volmex’s 30-day implied volatility indices for Bitcoin and Ethereum remain at multi-month lows, suggesting that despite capital flows and technical charts leaning bearish, the market has not shown obvious panic or fear sentiment.
