Bitcoin volatility expectations ease ahead of U.S. CPI, put bets build below $80,000

Put positions in Bitcoin options expiring this week are concentrated in the $76,000 to $80,000 range, with $80,000 the biggest strike for puts. Deribit open interest for the Oct. 16 expiry totals 15,502 BTC, or about $1.29 billion, with a put-call ratio of 1.43. Short-term volatility expectations have eased ahead of the Oct. 14 U.S. CPI release, while leverage in perpetual futures has edged lower.

Bitcoin stuck despite U.S. inflation cooling, capped by 1.79 million BTC supply wall

Bullish bets targeting $70,000 are rising again, but Bitcoin has repeatedly failed to break higher due to a sell wall of about 1.79 million BTC near $65,000. The cryptocurrency has been trapped in a $63,000 to $65,000 range for three weeks and showed little reaction after the U.S. July CPI report. Options data show heavy interest in $70,000 calls and $60,000 puts, signaling both upside positioning and downside defense.
