Bitcoin extended its monthly gains as U.S. debt concerns accelerated capital flows into perceived safe-haven assets, offsetting the usual pressure that higher yields place on non-yielding assets. BTC has risen 23% this month as the market's macro narrative shifted toward debt sustainability risks. In the options market, notional open interest in Bitcoin call options with strike prices between $80,000 and $100,000 has reached billions of dollars. The positioning suggests traders are increasingly betting that BTC will break above $100,000 during the final four months of 2026, marking one of the clearest signals yet of the market's implied future price path.
