Bitcoin derivatives traders are hedging against a potential drop below $85,000, with heavy put options at that level. Market volatility has pushed 30-day implied volatility to 45%, while negative skew remains strong. Analysts note bearish sentiment for early 2026, with Ethereum also facing risk at $2,500. On-chain data shows short-term holders in losses and long-term investors cutting BTC positions. Geopolitical factors and Fed policy will likely shape near-term volatility.
