Bitcoin's Upside May Be Capped

Some analysts believe that Bitcoin's upside is capped due to options data and market maker activity suppressing rallies, despite a long-term bullish outlook.

Following a tumultuous event last week, Bitcoin has entered calmer waters, with its price currently trading at around $113,500, down 1.5% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data.

Heightened bearish activity during the sell-off has led to an increase in put options expiring on October 31, as noted by Hendrik Ghys, founder of Thalex Global, in a tweet.

Implied volatility has repriced downward to the low 40s in the short term and around 45% for longer horizons, according to Ghys.

The long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains bullish, despite current market suppression.
