Early Thursday, CoinDesk reported bullish-to-neutral shift in sentiment in the options market tied to BlackRock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). But by the end of the day, the situation worsened further, with sentiment turning slightly bearish.
The one-year put-call skew, which reflects how the market prices in volatility risk for put options, offering downside protection, relative to bullish call options, turned slightly positive to 0.2%, according to data source Market Chameleon.
In other words, the day closed with protective put options trading at a slight premium relative to calls in a sign of renewed bearish sentiment.
IBIT fell 1.32% to $59.99 Thursday, while registering a net inflow of $125 million, the lowest single-day tally since May 13, according to data source SoSoValue.
