On January 20, traders on decentralized on-chain options, perpetual contract, and structured product protocol Derive.xyz flagged a 30% probability that Bitcoin will fall below $80,000 by the end of June. Derive.xyz Research Director Dr. Sean Dawson stated: “The options market shows a clear downward skew—there’s a 30% chance Bitcoin drops below $80,000 by June 26, versus just 19% odds it hits $120,000 in the same period.” Recently, after 10 countries opposed the U.S.’s plan to acquire Greenland, Trump threatened a 10% tariff on imports from 10 European nations. The renewed tariff concerns sent Bitcoin tumbling from $95,000 to $91,000. Dawson noted geopolitical tensions could drive further declines: “Escalating U.S.-Europe tensions (especially over the Greenland dispute) have raised the market’s systemic transition risk to a high-volatility environment—a dynamic not yet fully priced into current spot prices.” He explained the option skew indicator (measuring the price gap betwee

CryptoQuant analyst Axel noted in a January 20 post that after weeks of buy-side dominance, sellers have reclaimed control of the derivatives market—with U.S. spot markets failing to generate hedging demand. Both signals point to the market entering a risk-off environment. The Exchange Whale Ratio shows a sharp swing in trading activity from buyers to sellers: the metric sits at -0.0917, while the 90-day Exchange Whale Index is -1.81. These readings indicate a market structure defined by sustained selling pressure—a notable deterioration from the near-neutral signals observed in recent days.
