Bitcoin traders are regaining optimism for 2026, with a significant increase in demand for bullish call options targeting a price of $100,000. Data from Deribit and Amberdata show that open interest in $100,000 strike call options expiring in January increased by 420 Bitcoin contracts within 24 hours, amounting to $38.8 million, the largest increase among all January options. Analysts note that this bullish position (with a total notional open interest of $1.45 billion) aligns with market sentiment in 2025. QCP Capital suggests that if Bitcoin's price continues to break above $94,000, it could further stimulate demand for such upside options.
