The Wall Street geniuses put downward pressure on the crypto BTC and pushed it to $30K support. But here’s a catch, if someone breaches the condition, then there could be more selling burden from different options traders. And then it leads to a rapid down-slide.
More about BitCoin
We can all see that since Mid-May BTC price didn’t increase over $40000. It’s always between $30K to $40K. Moreover, traders are selling puts at $30K whereas some are selling calls at $40K. Some options traders are very busy taking high risks to gain profit sooner.
Here’s a piece of interesting information, Deribit data shows a high focus of open interest at $30K put. Also, the $40K call might expire by the end of July. People take high risks and put a gambit on high strike calls and low strike calls. We often see traders taking short steps by selling higher striking calls and lower striking puts. And these traders are actually betting on the fact that the BTC market will become stronger as time goes by. Additionally, this leads to a substantial drop in the volatility of the data.

Wondering about the Put Option and Call option?
A put option gives the trader a choice to sell his/her asset at a predetermined cost on or before a determined date. Whereas the call option gives an option for the trader to buy based on their interest.
It’s highly disheartening that BTC is almost in the lower end of the $30K range. Crypto Enthusiasts are still having faith that eventually there will be substantial growth when seen from a perspective of long term. If the price falls below $30,000, then there is a high chance that the traders who sold puts may turn to the downside risk. And they’ll short BTC or may sell their share of BTC in the spot market. And that my friend is not at all appreciable because it’ll lead to price drop immediately.
