On Deribit, the put-to-call ratio remains near 0.7, indicating stronger demand for call (buy) options than for protective puts. A brief spike in bearish positioning last week quickly faded, pointing to a market that remains orderly rather than panicked.
Bitcoin’s price has rebounded 10% since retesting $63,000, even as global markets react to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. While confidence among leveraged bulls remains subdued, the broader $1.4 trillion crypto market continues to function smoothly. Every short position is matched by a long, maintaining structural balance as investors await the next decisive move.
