$BTC options put/call: OI and volume are not aligned.
OI shows 280,849 BTC in calls vs 190,043 BTC in puts, a 0.68 put/call ratio. 24h volume shows 14,159 BTC calls vs 13,474 BTC puts, a 0.95 ratio. đ
Interpretation: the standing book is call-leaning, while new flow is close to neutral. Participants are not adding aggressively to either side.
Lesson: call-heavy OI is not a bullish signal on its own, since calls are also used for hedging and yield. The practical risk is crowded expectations meeting a range-bound market. That tends to produce fakeouts, so size positions and set boundaries accordingly.
Relevant if you run grid or DCA bots in a sideways market. Backtest your settings first.
