While Bitcoin (BTC) forced all investors to stay on the sidelines during its decline in the final months of 2025, the situation has begun to change in recent days.
Bitcoin, after its quiet recent rise, briefly climbed above $93,000 today, sparking activity among options traders.
According to recent data, investors have increased their bets on $100,000 worth of BTC call options for January.
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin investors are increasingly investing in call options with a strike price of $100,000 that expire in January. This strengthens expectations of an upward breakout for Bitcoin.
According to Deribit data, the total open interest for these options has risen to $1.45 billion, with an increase of 420 BTC in the last 24 hours.
Wintermute strategist Jasper De Maere said, “The market flow is still heavily dominated by option renewals, with a noticeable increase in interest, particularly in the $100,000 options due on January 30.”
Analysts at Singapore-based analytics firm QCP Capital also noted a clear upward trend in the options market.
According to analysts, if the BTC price rises permanently and significantly above $94,000, this could further increase demand for call options.
QCP Capital stated that the funding rate for BTC perpetual futures on Deribit exceeded 30%, and options brokers were in a short gamma position, forced to buy BTC to hedge their losses.
At this point, the analytics company added that if the BTC price continues to rise, this buying pressure from brokerage firms will intensify.
