Bitcoin repeatedly tests the $90,000 level, and the attitude of the options market is intriguing. When the market surged to a high of $94,000, the ATM implied volatility rose accordingly, but as the price momentum weakened, traders began to enter short volatility positions to bottom fish, causing IV to decline. More notably, the change in the Delta Skew indicator is worth paying attention to— the 1-week Skew has expanded to about 8.2%, indicating that the market's hedging demand for short-term declines is significantly increasing. Interestingly, while the short-term downtrend IV rose along with the price rebound, the uptrend IV showed a clear structural difference. This set of data signals that the market expects potential pullback pressure at the current level.

The selling pressure is so obvious yet it still wants to push higher, it's a bit funny... Can it really break 9.4 this time?

So many times at the 90,000 level, can it really break through... It seems like those watching options are hedging against a decline, feeling a bit anxious.

94,000 can't be broken through, options buddies have already been betting on a pullback, Skew has also been laid out.

This wave of skew expanding to 8.2% has fully triggered the hedging demand from the bears. The market is sensing a correction... Friends still chasing 94,000 should be careful.

At the 94,000 level, the options market is already sending signals... That 8.2% Skew has really increased, clearly preparing for a decline.

94,000 can't push this wave forward. Looking at the options data, they're still adding protective orders. It's really a bit timid.
