According to GreeksLive, community sentiment flipped from early bullish targets at 115–116k to caution after price weakened near 113k (source: GreeksLive). According to GreeksLive, traders attributed the increased volatility to Trump-related headlines and possible market manipulation, heightening intraday swings (source: GreeksLive). According to GreeksLive, key levels are 114k for upside reclaim and 110k to the downside, with concern over long-dated put skew even as BTC’s broader trend remains technically intact (source: GreeksLive). According to GreeksLive, options desks are deploying long strangles to monetize news-driven volatility, reflecting a range-trading bias (source: GreeksLive). According to GreeksLive, a preferred setup is to wait for a 114k reclaim before buying calls targeting 116k while maintaining protective puts below 110k into week’s end (source: GreeksLive). According to GreeksLive, some traders are selling calls against puts and using short straddles plus underlying to manage complex delta, though execution has been difficult amid whipsaw price action (source: GreeksLive).
