“BTC Panic Mode: Inside the Explosive Move of the 88K Put Option”
This chart shows extreme volatility in the BTC 88,000 Put Option expiring on 26 January 2026. Price has exploded from near 125 to a high of 1,725, followed by a sharp pullback to the current zone around 615.
This kind of vertical move confirms panic-based option buying, meaning traders are aggressively hedging or betting on a potential Bitcoin drop.
The massive green candle signals sudden bearish sentiment on Bitcoin, while the red candle shows profit booking and cooling momentum. Volume also surged heavily, confirming real money participation, not random price action.
At current levels, price is consolidating after a parabolic spike, which indicates two scenarios:
Either this option stabilizes for another push if Bitcoin weakens further, or it bleeds slowly if BTC holds support.
This is a high-risk, high-reward contract, best suited for short-term momentum traders, not long-term holders.
Risk management is critical here because option premiums decay fast, and volatility works both ways.
Overall, this movement reflects fear in the market, and smart traders will wait for confirmation instead of chasing the spike.
