Recent data from Matrixport indicates a slight easing of bearish sentiment in the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options markets. Since late August, option skewness for both cryptocurrencies has been negative, reflecting a market focus on downside protection with high implied volatility for put options. This trend intensified in mid-November, as demand for put options surged amid market pressure. Despite a recent rebound in skewness, it remains negative, suggesting that the options market still leans towards downside risk. However, the improvement in skewness points to a gradual cooling of market pessimism, indicating that the overall bearish bias is easing.
