- Put options have accounted for most activity over the past week.
Bitcoin BTC$84,003.00 has fallen sharply, dropping over 25% to $83,700 this month, and data suggests some traders are bracing for a further decline.

The $75K put option reflects a bet that Bitcoin's price will fall below that level, echoing the early April dip that bottomed around $74,000.
Glassnode commented on X, "The options market isn’t signaling a bottom yet and is leaning toward the risk of a deeper move."
CoinDesk recently highlighted a clear bearish shift in the Bitcoin options market, with the $85,000 put option becoming the dominant trade, replacing the previously popular $140,000 call option.
Put options have comprised over 65% of all options activity in the past week, indicating aggressive downside hedging by traders. Glassnode noted this also reflects traders exploiting volatility spreads by selling high short-dated volatility and buying longer-dated contracts to capitalize on market dislocations.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?
The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
