[Glassnode Says Crypto Market Rebound Lacks Dedicated Catalysts and Remains Fragile] Glassnode posted on the X platform, noting that while the price movements in the crypto market have stabilized, this rebound lacks strong, crypto-specific catalysts to support it, and overall performance remains fragile. In the options market, Bitcoin trading remains calm, with open interest dominated by call options. Over the past two weeks, the ratio of put to call options has significantly declined, reflecting traders' expectations to profit from a year-end rally. However, options trading volume over the past seven days has slowed considerably, indicating weakened confidence in supporting an upward trend. The net premium for short- to medium-term call options with a strike price of $95,000 has continued to decline, and implied volatility across all maturities has decreased, suggesting reduced demand for protective strategies or leveraged upside bets. Traders are anticipating price stabilization. The 25Delta skew indicator remains positive but is in bearish territory, with the market still pricing in potential downside risks. On the macroeconomic front, expectations for a rate cut in December are the core driving force behind current prices. If these expectations shift or a "hawkish rate cut" occurs, it could trigger a synchronized repricing of implied volatility and the spot market.
