Keep a Close Eye on Bitcoin Tomorrow: Rare Option Data Detected
Cryptocurrency analytics company GreeksLive has issued a notable warning regarding the Bitcoin options market.
According to the company’s assessment, options trading accounted for approximately 30% of total trading volume today, with this concentration largely focused on the “Block Condor” strategy, which expires tomorrow.
The analysis stated that the total nominal size of these transactions exceeded 7,000 BTC, and that investors were positioned to expect the Bitcoin price to surpass $68,000 tomorrow. GreeksLive noted that block transactions of this scale have been relatively rare recently.

The company also added that while the option premiums paid were not high, such aggressive positions in contracts with a maturity of only about 20 hours could be considered a “bold move.” The statement noted that in such cases, large block transactions should be closely monitored, as high-volume positions generally indicate strong market expectations.
The term “Block Condor” represents a combination of two concepts in the options market. While “block trading” refers to large-volume transactions, typically carried out by institutional investors, “condor” is known as an options strategy built on the expectation that the price will remain within a specific range. This strategy is usually constructed with four different option contracts and aims to provide investors with returns in scenarios where the price does not rise excessively or fall sharply.
