Bitcoin Options Traders Cut Hedges Ahead of Fed Meeting, Put/Call Ratio Falls to 0.52

GateNews
Derivatives DataMarket Analysis
According to Glassnode, Bitcoin options traders have reduced defensive positions ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July 29. The put/call ratio on open interest fell to approximately 0.52 from 0.76 in late June, signaling a sharp decline in downside hedging. Large traders have simultaneously accumulated bullish $70,000 strike calls and bull call spreads, reflecting conviction in upside moves. One-week implied volatility currently sits at 34.3%, well below the six-month reading of 40.8%—an unusual pattern suggesting traders have largely priced out surprises from the Fed decision, which markets assign only a 15% probability of a rate hike.
