Greeks.live: Options traders eye volatility risk premiums and hedging strategies as market views are now more polarised

Greeks.live Macro Researcher Adam has released a Chinese community newsletter in which he notes that the market is currently divided, with some investors concerned about whales starting to short BTC, while others remain bullish on the long term, and there are even some radical views predicting that Bitcoin could go as high as $444,000, according to the newsletter. Much of the discussion focused on risk management and strategy adjustments, with options traders focusing on volatility risk premiums and hedging strategies. Several traders discussed margin models and funding rates for exchange-traded options and perpetuals, suggesting that the CEX Firm assumes a 0.01% borrowing rate baseline when calculating funding rates.
The English-language community briefing mentioned that some traders expect prices to fall after the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, while others believe the market could rise briefly before a continued choppy market. Traders are keeping a close eye on the important $83-85K level, while watching the impact of the upcoming Trump meeting and potential Saylor Timing Fixed Purchase.
