Summary
Bitcoin traders are dialing back downside bets after a month of heavy hedging, signaling growing confidence ahead of the Fed’s big announcement. Call options—betting on price surges—are surging, with big players snapping up $70K strike calls and bull spreads, hinting at a bullish outlook. Short-term downside protection premiums have dropped to 4%, while longer-term hedges linger at 11-12%, showing traders are still bracing for later-year risks but easing immediate fears. Implied volatility is unusually low for the near term, suggesting calm before the storm—and that could amplify any market reaction if the Fed surprises. Bitcoin holds steady around $65K despite crypto sector turbulence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
