The $75K put option reflects a bet that Bitcoin's price will fall below that level, echoing the early April dip that bottomed around $74,000.
Glassnode commented on X, "The options market isn’t signaling a bottom yet and is leaning toward the risk of a deeper move."
CoinDesk recently highlighted a clear bearish shift in the Bitcoin options market, with the $85,000 put option becoming the dominant trade, replacing the previously popular $140,000 call option.
Put options have comprised over 65% of all options activity in the past week, indicating aggressive downside hedging by traders. Glassnode noted this also reflects traders exploiting volatility spreads by selling high short-dated volatility and buying longer-dated contracts to capitalize on market dislocations.
