Glassnode said on Sept. 21 that bullish leverage in the Bitcoin options market has been climbing as BTC moved above $86,000. The firm noted that the put-to-call ratio in open interest is also rising, though it remains well below the overheated levels typically seen near Bitcoin market tops. In the perpetual futures market, speculative positioning still looks restrained. Funding rates remain below neutral, suggesting sentiment has not yet reached an extreme despite the latest price breakout. The update points to a market where leverage is building, but not at a pace that matches prior peak conditions.
