Bitcoin Options Market Points to Feedback Loop of Higher Prices, Expert Says

According to Nick Forster, the founder of DeFi derivatives protocol Derive, the options market is entering a "reflexivity season," in which market participants' actions and expectations influence asset prices and vice versa. Forster noted that the 30-day call/put skew for Bitcoin options contracts is increasing, indicating traders are betting on higher volatility and pricing in larger market swings. Traders are reportedly expecting prices between $80,000 and $90,000 by the end of November. This news comes as the options market is expected to expand with the inclusion of traditional players and the approval of options on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
