According to @GreeksLive, community sentiment is predominantly bearish, framing recent pumps as a bull trap and watching BTC resistance at 110k and 112k. According to @GreeksLive, traders are aggressively selling calls and increasing short exposure despite rallies, with one trader reaching IM 100+ from call selling and expressing conviction that price will not break 112k, favoring choppy sideways action. According to @GreeksLive, brief pumps are attributed to Saylor buying and institutional TWAP flows, seen as short-lived with expectations of wicks toward 110k. According to @GreeksLive, traders are preparing for downside risk into the Oct 29 FOMC and possible Nov 1 Trump tariff announcements.

According to @GreeksLive, sentiment is predominantly bearish with traders watching BTC support at 108k, 107k, and 105k after a sharp drop (source: @GreeksLive, X, Oct 17, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, bears are calling for further downside toward 102k–90k while a minority frames the move as a bear trap, as BTC tests its daily 200-EMA support (source: @GreeksLive, X, Oct 17, 2025).

According to @GreeksLive, spot order books thinned materially as the Coinbase premium disappeared, and ETH options market makers briefly pulled all quotes (source: @GreeksLive, X, Oct 17, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, traders focused on selling far-out puts despite weakness, citing extreme implied volatility into the Oct 20 expiry and viewing sub-3500 ETH as unlikely even in a crash scenario (source: @GreeksLive, X, Oct 17, 2025).

According to @GreeksLive, market sentiment is cautiously bearish with traders watching BTC 93.5k as a potential bottom, 100k as an upside target on reversal, and ETH 4050 as a critical short-put level currently at risk, source: @GreeksLive. Traders cited Trump administration headlines on tariffs and oil sanctions as drivers of unpredictable volatility and risk-off flows, source: @GreeksLive.

According to @GreeksLive, options skew has turned more negative, especially in the short term, with the magnitude of the shift comparable to readings observed on the 11th (@GreeksLive). According to @GreeksLive, this positioning indicates that large liquidity providers and market makers are pricing in substantial downside risk, with sentiment nearing levels seen after the broader market drop on the 11th (@GreeksLive). According to @GreeksLive, aligning with large-player positioning, buying put options as a hedge currently appears the more prudent strategy (@GreeksLive).

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).

According to @GreeksLive, a sudden 10% single-day pump has split positioning with market focus on ETH spot and option pivot zones at $4,000–$4,500, creating tactical uncertainty for the week ahead (source: @GreeksLive on X, Oct 14, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, short calls sold to flatten delta against puts are getting hit hard, with $3,850 and $4,000 strikes now deeply underwater for sellers (source: @GreeksLive on X, Oct 14, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, implied volatility is around 44, and traders are urged to actively harvest premium in this high-vol environment rather than step aside (source: @GreeksLive on X, Oct 14, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, several community members expect a retrace by Oct 17, making risk controls around $4,000–$4,500 critical for both short gamma and directional exposure (source: @GreeksLive on X, Oct 14, 2025). According to @GreeksLive, a February BTC move from 78k to 95k before turning lower is cited as precedent, framing the current spike as a potential liquidity-wipeout trap to manage in ETH/BTC positioning (source: @GreeksLive on X, Oct 14, 2025).
