Bitcoin: Options Flow Shifts Near Resistance
Bitcoin options show call selling at 40% as price hits 80K resistance, with put activity at 25%, signaling upside monetization per Glassnode data.
SourceGlassnode reports a notable shift in Bitcoin options flow as price approaches 80K. Over the past week, call buying led the charge, fueling bullish bets. But in the last 24 hours, call selling jumped to 40%, cashing in on gains while put activity hovers at 25%. This mirrors historical patterns from the past year, where BTC options flow shifted near price resistance, often preceding volatility spikes as seen in Glassnode's on-chain analytics on call selling and put trends.
Zooming into the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin trades at $78,218.61 within a bullish structure, hugging the EMA50 at $76,406.18 as immediate support while the EMA200 at $73,021.48 anchors the longer-term floor. Momentum sits neutral with RSI at 57.24, but MACD flashes a death cross at 554.79, hinting at building downside pressure. Price dances inside Bollinger Bands, testing the upper resistance at $79,756.68—confluence here screams caution, as this volatility band exhaustion often triggers a pullback to the EMA50 before resuming the uptrend, especially with put activity steady amid BTC price prediction debates and broader crypto market trends.
Traders eye this setup amid rising hype around Bitcoin integrations with projects like TAO, potentially amplifying options plays if resistance breaks.
