Glassnode: Bitcoin Market Volatility Returns, Options Volatility and Market Sentiment Recover in Tandem

Odaily reports that Glassnode analysis indicates Bitcoin has broken through key resistance and rallied to the $82,000-$83,000 range, ending several weeks of narrow consolidation, with market volatility making a return. Options data shows a rebound of approximately 6 points in short-term 1-week implied volatility, while long-term volatility remains moderate, signaling a rapid recovery in short-term trading demand.

In terms of sentiment and positioning, the 25-delta skew has converged toward neutral, indicating diminished demand for downside hedging. Short-term sentiment is leaning bearish, while long-term outlook has turned bullish, reflecting a repricing of upward expectations. On the structural side, implied volatility has surpassed realized volatility, with the VRP turning positive. A "short gamma" concentration zone of approximately $2 billion exists near the $82,000 level, which could amplify price swings. Over the past 24 hours, call option sell orders accounted for 81% of activity, suggesting the market is leaning toward consolidation.
