$BTC options are turning less defensive as put/call ratios and short-dated skew fall, while volatility stays compressed.

Here's what BTC options data reveals about positioning, volatility, and sentiment beneath the surface.👇

The $BTC options OI put/call ratio has fallen sharply to ~0.52, down from ~0.76 in late June. Call open interest is gaining share relative to puts, signalling an unwind in defensive positioning as price stabilises near $67K.

$BTC ATM implied volatility remains compressed across the curve, with 1W at 34.3% versus 6M at 40.8%. The upward-sloping term structure shows near-term event risk is being discounted, while longer-dated uncertainty retains a modest premium.

25-delta skew has fallen sharply at the front end, with 1W dropping near 4%, while 3M–6M remain around 11–12%. Near-term downside hedging is unwinding, but longer-dated options retain a defensive premium.
