Options traders are paying record premiums to hedge downside. Is the fear trade finally peaking?

AI Forecast
BTC: Bearish 📉 22/100 | ETH: Bearish 📉 22/100

Stablecoin purchasing power -21.3% in 30D — worst in the dataset. Fear & Greed at 13.

Today's Focus: Derivatives
→ BTC: 25D put skew at 95.6th pct (current +0.214) — near extreme institutional hedging demand. OTC desk inflows at z=6.2, suggesting large-block selling pipeline. Yet Reserve Risk at 0.6th pct signals maximum HODLer conviction.
→ ETH: Call skew at 97.8th pct (z=2.12) — options market pricing upside hard while spot bleeds. BBI=-0.57 bearish but futures basis at 0th pct, zero directional conviction.

Everyone is hedged. Nobody is buying. That's usually when something moves.
