Bitcoin has fallen from $95,000 to $91,000, and the market sentiment in the options market is already very clear—bearish. According to on-chain data, the probability of dropping below $80,000 by the end of June is 30%, while the chance of surpassing $120,000 is only 19%, which is enough to illustrate the situation.



More interestingly, the specific options layout shows a clustering of put options in the $75,000 to $80,000 range, subtly hinting at a target—possibly moving toward the mid-$75,000 level. The spot price has not fully reflected this downside risk yet, and the negative skew of options further confirms the dominance of the bears.

External factors are also contributing. The European tariff dispute continues to ferment, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties, making crypto investors noticeably more cautious. This is not alarmist—since the previous high of $126,000, the market has already retraced over 30%, with frequent liquidations of long positions. It’s somewhat reminiscent of the crash triggered by tariffs in April 2025, with history repeating itself to some extent.

When volatility surges, risk management must come first. Greed or complacency at this point can be very costly. Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies are also under similar pressure, so don’t be blinded by rebounds.

Wait, is it really that bearish on options? It seems like the market always prefers to go against the trend.

Here we go again with risk control talks, tired of hearing it, but it’s indeed necessary. --- That 75k short position makes me uncomfortable to watch. Is this time really different? --- Damn tariffs are back again. Every time they say history repeats, but we still get trapped. --- The rebound is all fake. Just wait for it to break 80k. --- Options data is so divergent, retail investors are still in a daze. --- From 126,000 to now, with so much shrinkage, who wouldn’t be scared? --- Don’t ask me why I’m not bottom-fishing; I’m just waiting for 75k. --- Ethereum never seems to have good news; it’s just following Bitcoin to be sacrificed together. --- Now, those greedy are all ending badly. I’m just watching the show quietly. --- Shorts are well-founded and justified, but longs are all based on faith. --- Risk control first? Should have listened to that, but unfortunately, I’ve already been liquidated.

They want to dump again. The options folks have been digging the pit at 75k-80k for a while, and we're still sleepwalking.

It has dropped again and again. This time, the options data is very clear—shorts have been lurking for a long time.
