Options traders aren't exactly bullish right now. The derivatives market is signaling that Bitcoin might just camp out in its current price zone for a while. Makes sense when you consider Q4 wiped over $1 trillion from crypto's total market cap—that's the kind of bloodbath that makes people cautious. The options flow shows traders betting on range-bound action rather than any explosive moves. Classic post-correction behavior: everyone's nursing their wounds, reassessing positions, waiting to see if the floor actually holds.

Alright, it seems everyone is waiting and watching, no one wants to get trapped.
That drop in Q4 was really brutal, no wonder everyone is cautious now.
Let's wait and see if we can find the bottom, it's a bit uncertain.
This sideways movement will probably continue for a while, I guess.

The drop is so severe, who can stay optimistic?
---
One trillion is gone, might as well just lie flat and do nothing.
---
That's how options trading is, just range-bound, wait for the wind to change.
---
The Q4 crash shattered everyone's confidence, now no one dares to make a move.
---
No one really knows where the bottom is.
---
It's time to cut losses on this wave, stop hoping for a rebound.
---
This triangle consolidation is so boring, when will it finally break out?
---
How can anyone be optimistic after losing a trillion? I can only watch from the sidelines now.
---
If it's going to range, let it range—at least it's not dumping further.

Let it consolidate, I’m out of ammo anyway.

Oh my, it's this kind of deadlocked situation again... That Q4 wave was insanely destructive.

Wait, $1 trillion is just gone? I need to quickly check how much of my worthless coins I have left.
