$451M in downside puts are sitting at the 76K-80K strikes with ~36 hours to CPI.
9,128 puts vs 6,373 calls on the Oct 16 BTC book. Put/call ratio 1.43 — that's real money bracing for a hot print.
Meanwhile the crowd is betting the consensus: core CPI 0.2% m/m tomorrow. Polymarket has it at 50c. The OCBC line: only a 0.4%+ print actually moves market pricing.
So the asymmetry is clean. A 0.2% print changes nothing. It's already the base case. A 0.3% shakes the December hike odds. A 0.4% is the tail nobody priced.
BTC held the flush tonight. $811.8M liquidated in 24h, 84.5% of it longs, and spot is still ~83.3K. Leverage is clean. Fear & Greed at 57.
The trade is the box: hold above 84.2K and those put walls become squeeze fuel into the print. Lose 82K and the 80K hedge wall is right there to test.
$BTC . CPI-eve. Pick your side before the bell.
