Bitcoin has surged past the $82,000–$83,000 range, breaking through key resistance levels and ending a period of narrow consolidation, according to Glassnode analysis. This movement has reignited market volatility, with short-term 1-week implied volatility increasing by approximately 6 percentage points. Despite this, long-term volatility remains subdued, indicating a rapid recovery in short-term trading demand.
Market sentiment shows a shift, with the 25-delta skew moving towards neutral and a decrease in downside hedging demand. While short-term sentiment is slightly bearish, the long-term outlook is bullish, reflecting a repricing of upside expectations. Implied volatility now exceeds realized volatility, with a positive volatility risk premium (VRP). A significant "short gamma" zone near $82,000, valued at approximately $2 billion, could further amplify volatility. In the past 24 hours, 81% of options sold were calls, suggesting a market bias towards consolidation.
