Guys, here’s a really sobering market fact 🔥
U.S. Bitcoin ETFs saw their largest single-day net inflow in nearly a month: $526 million! Yet Bitcoin didn’t surge—instead, it continued to weaken. It’s currently trading at $81,383, already below its 50-day moving average ⚠️

Let’s break down this figure: Almost all of this huge inflow came from BlackRock alone. It wasn’t multiple institutions entering the market at the same time—it was a single large allocation, not a broad, sustained buying trend. What’s more, sellers easily absorbed this $500-million-plus buying pressure. The price fell instead of rising, and that’s a signal we should take seriously!

Now let’s look at the options market: traders are scrambling to buy downside protection 👇

Put option volume on Deribit is more than double call volume. The $80,000-strike puts are currently the most popular contracts, with traders hedging in advance against the risk of a breakdown.
One easy-to-miss trap: The open interest in $90,000 and $100,000 calls was built up a long time ago. It shouldn’t be mistaken for a new bullish view. Right now, new capital is leaning defensive!

A few more key market details:
▪️ Long positions account for 55%, but 69% of liquidations are long positions getting wiped out—longs keep taking a beating
▪️ Bitcoin’s annualized funding rate is as high as 8.8%, far above ETH’s 3.9%, indicating that BTC long leverage is extremely crowded
▪️ The previous day’s short-term rally in altcoins fizzled out completely, with the DeFi sector leading the decline
▪️ UNI protocol revenue hit a record high, yet its token price fell 20%—a sharp divergence between fundamentals and price

Oil prices have also been on a roller coaster: Russia-related energy exemptions have brought prices down, but Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have reignited geopolitical risks. Saudi Arabia is even considering postponing a major summit or holding it online!

In short:
Large ETF inflows can’t lift the price, and options traders are buying $80,000 puts for protection. The top priority now is to watch whether the $80,000 level can hold!
