Greeks.live: Bitcoin and Ethereum Sharp Downtrend Continues, Put Options Hold Absolute Dominance

2 hours ago

On Feb 6, analytics platform Greeks.live shared key crypto options expiration data in a social media post: - 33,000 BTC options expiring; put-call ratio (PCR) 0.54; max pain $80,000; nominal value $2.1B - 219,000 ETH options expiring; PCR 0.91; max pain $2,400; nominal value $420M Crypto markets plunged sharply that day: BTC briefly fell below $60k, while ETH dropped under $1,750. Roughly 10% of total options open interest expired, totaling nearly $26B. BTC and ETH prices extended losses with a strong downtrend, as put options dominated trading. The crypto fear gauge hit 5% at one point, sparking fresh market panic. Implied volatility (IV) for both assets surged to over 1-year highs: - BTC’s main-term IV topped 60%, with short-term at-the-money (ATM) contracts exceeding 110% - ETH’s main-term IV stood at 80%, with short-term ATM contracts above 120% This week, put options held a large share of trading volume. Market makers absorbed a wave of bearish demand, and trading activity remained robust — but any brief dip-buying attempts were overwhelmed by the selloff.

Bitwise CEO: This Round of Cryptocurrency Market Crash Mainly Due to Macro Environment, Investors Liquidating All Assets

On February 6th, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley told CNBC in an interview: “Bitcoin’s had a double-digit single-day drop, is now in a bear market, and has fallen nearly 30% since the start of the year. As for why? I think the crypto market’s currently caught up in the broader macro environment—investors are dumping all liquid assets right now. Gold’s down, the Nasdaq 100’s falling, and even Amazon’s being sold off. Over the past few months, the crypto space has had some internal issues—like offshore trading platforms hitting operational snags—but right now, crypto assets are trading more in sync with other high-liquidity assets. Long-term holders are feeling uncertain, but new institutional investors see this as a ‘second chance’—prices they thought they’d missed out on forever are back. We’re in a transitional phase right now. At the end of the day, crypto’s still a tiny asset class; most investors haven’t fully allocated to it yet. So the long-term outlook is solid—we’re just
