Big funds have already made their move. According to on-chain data tracking, a well-known market maker's options department in the OTC market revealed a key move: $13 million was fully bet on bullish options in the $98,000 to $100,000 price range for BTC.
This is not chasing the high.
Looking closely, the logic behind this is clear—using options to lock in breakout positions in advance. When large sums of money concentrate on the long side near a critical point, it often indicates a clear expectation of the subsequent trend. The options premiums and liquidity for $BTC at this price level are heating up, and the correlated performance of $ETH and $SOL also confirms a rebound in risk appetite.
The dealer's hand is laid out. The next move of the market will be revealed by the data.

13 million USD invested at the 100,000 level, it's really not a coincidence
---
The market maker has revealed their hand, and you're still not following? That's a bit foolish
---
Options premiums are heating up, this wave definitely has some substance
---
Wait, what is this implying... is breaking 10,000 not a dream?
---
On-chain data is so clear, what are you hesitating for?
---
I just want to know whose money this 13 million is, such confidence
---
BTC is really about to break 10,000, it feels like the sentiment has shifted

13 million invested in this range, really not afraid, quite interesting
---
On the night before surpassing 10,000, I was hesitating and feeling a bit anxious looking at this data
---
Wait, is the logic saying that 98,000 to 100,000 is a confirmed support level? Or does no one really know if it will test repeatedly
---
If big funds are playing like this, what chance do retail investors have? Or is the opportunity actually more obvious
---
I just want to know whether this option will end up making a profit or a loss. In a month, how many "I told you so" comments will there be in the comment section
---
Is BTC really going to break 10,000? Feels like it's just oscillating around this level repeatedly
---
Is the correlation between ETH and SOL real, or is a divergence coming again? I always feel it's not very reliable

13 million invested at 98,000 to 100,000, this move... I calculated it, and it's really no joke.
---
Wait, is the option premium heating up? What should I do with my spot holdings? Should I jump on the bandwagon?
---
It's a showdown now, feels like the big players have been waiting for this moment all along.
---
If it breaks 10,000, so be it. Anyway, I've already bottomed out, I'm not afraid of any dips.
---
Can we stop saying that data speaks for itself? In the end, it's still the main players who have the final say.
---
So the big investors are betting on breaking 100,000, doesn't that mean my short position might blow up?
---
Is this the legendary signal of large-volume chip concentration? Watching this kind of analysis all day, in the end, it still comes down to luck.
---
Hmm... 13 million sounds huge, but the real factor that determines the market is retail traders' greed. As they say,
---
Still studying options chain data, I trust my intuition—98,000 is the bottom.
---
What is the big player showing with their showdown? In the end, we are the ones who get outed.

$13 million stuck here, not feeling at ease until it breaks 10K
---
Here we go again, basically betting on breaking 10K, looks pretty fierce
---
Premium heating up? Alright, just follow the big funds and go with the flow
---
What if this wave crashes down? Can a $13 million order withstand it?
---
Interesting, the options side is already betting, which means they’ve known for a while
---
But to be fair, locking in positions = guaranteed profit? Not necessarily, all tricks
---
Follow the trend? $ETH and $SOL are the trend-followers, they turn quickly with the market
---
Can the 98K to 100K range really break through? Feels uncertain
---
Are on-chain data accurate? Anyway, I still find K-line charts more reliable

$13 million at 98K to 100K? That's a big move, someone has already paved the way.
---
It's so close to 10K, why are some people still hesitating? Wake up.
---
Wait, is the premium heating up for real or are they just making up stories again?
---
The market maker has made their stance clear, but whether retail investors follow or not—that's the question.
---
Is SOL also moving? Fine, just watch and see.
---
I just want to know if that $13 million has been invested. Data is supposed to speak, but when will it speak?
---
On-chain data tracking this kind of thing, feels like opening a blind box.
---
It's options locking again. Last time, when it was said like this, BTC dropped directly. What will happen this time?

$13 million is pressed at the 98,000-100,000 level. Do big players really not fear losses?
---
Breaking 10,000 is just breaking 10,000, but the key is whether it will drop again afterward.
---
Options premiums are heating up... sounds like another round of retail investors being cut.
---
Wait, can we trust this logic? I also believed it last time when big funds "laid it all on the line."
---
Is $BTC really about to break out? Or is it just another trap to attract buy-ins and fake a rally?
---
The correlation is starting to show. I knew it was time to reduce positions next.
---
$13 million pressed at this point—does that mean the whales have already had enough?
---
Data speaks... but usually, it’s just talking to cut my losses.
---
Seeing such large options activity, it feels even more uncertain.
---
It seems like I’m about to get caught in a trap again, but I still want to jump in, right?

$13 million bet on the 100,000 level, this move... smart people are all betting now
---
The market maker is so obviously revealing their hand, should retail investors follow or wait?
---
The rise in option premiums, to put it simply, is big players absorbing shares, don’t get caught off guard
---
The undercurrent before breaking 10,000, I think the bulls are already fully committed
---
Wait, if market makers dare to openly throw 13 million, are they genuinely optimistic or just trapping shorts?
---
ETH and SOL moving in tandem, this signal is a bit strong, risk appetite has indeed returned
---
Honestly, seeing these data points, I know that not breaking 10,000 would be a shame for this strategic layout
---
Market maker revealing their hand = market bottom? Or the last wave of bloodsucking before a new high?
---
Data speaks, but I also think data can be deceptive, be cautious
---
Betting 100,000 in round numbers, this tactic is old school but effective

watched the gwei on this one... those mm's aren't showing their hand for nothing. when 13m sits at that exact strike, it's not retail fomo, it's calculated. already saw the liquidity warming up around 9.8k, honestly? this is the kind of setup where your transaction timing becomes everything. gas will spike the moment btc even sniffs 10k so ngl, positioning now > panic clicking later.
