According to data from the DeFi derivatives platform , as the November 5th US election approaches, Bitcoin traders are preparing to deal with increased volatility, with price fluctuations expected to reach as high as 20%. Derive founder Nick Forster said on Monday: "As we approach a major financial event, the latest trading analysis has revealed some compelling market dynamics insights." The data shows that bets are concentrated around the $80,000 Bitcoin strike price, with strong demand for short-term call options, as traders use option premiums to prepare for potential price changes. Forster said: "Selling call options is dominant, indicating that traders are strategically collecting premiums, while the focus on the $80,000 target highlights a potential turning point for Bitcoin." He explained that in the past 24 hours, call options accounted for more than 47%, as traders hope to capitalize on the "premium" brought by election-related volatility. The varying maturity patterns of volatility also suggest that traders are preparing for volatility in the coming week, but are still uncertain about the direction of the price.
