Glassnode: BTC options volatility significantly rebounds, short-term bearish hedging demand weakens

Mars Finance News: Glassnode published an article stating that after Bitcoin broke through resistance into the $82,000-$83,000 range, market volatility has significantly increased. Options data shows that implied volatility (IV) has rebounded sharply from its October 2025 lows, with 1-week IV rising by 6 points, indicating a resurgence in short-term option demand. The 25D skew has continued to compress toward neutral, suggesting weakening demand for downside hedges. The volatility risk premium (VRP) has shifted from negative to positive, meaning future volatility priced into options is higher than the realized volatility of the spot. Meanwhile, near $82,000, there is an almost $2 billion short-term gamma cluster, which could amplify current price fluctuations due to hedging activity by traders. Over the past 24 hours, 81% of trading volume involved selling call options, indicating some traders are beginning to realize gains, and overall positions lean toward consolidation rather than panic hedging.
