Who has already laid out their positions at the key level of $100,000? The answer is in the data. A senior executive from a leading OTC trading platform confirmed that Wintermute's move is quite straightforward — all $13 million are bet on BTC call options in the $98,000 to $100,000 range. This is not chasing the rally, but an institutional signal of locking in a breakout in advance. From a trading logic perspective, large funds wouldn't set up such a position to gamble on short-term fluctuations. The concentration of $13 million at this price level indicates how confident they are that BTC will break through this barrier. The entire market is rebounding, with whale activity in ETH also ongoing, and funds are similarly betting on SOL. This kind of concentration in the options market often signals a consensus among major participants. The topic of digital asset treasury allocations is also heating up, with an increasingly clear trend of institutional digital asset holdings. When the big players have already revealed their cards, the subsequent direction may not be far off.

Huh, does Wintermute really have such confidence in the breakout, investing 13 million... --- The market maker has indeed revealed their hand; the question with following the trend is when to run. --- The 100,000 threshold feels like all institutions are betting on it. --- But on the other hand, such high concentration in options is quite risky; what if there's a reverse dump? --- ETH and SOL are also moving; is this genuine consensus or just following the trend? --- Let the data speak, but sometimes data can also be misleading... --- Institutional allocation is heating up? So what should retail investors do at this point? --- The breakout signal is real; the key is whether there will be a pullback afterward. --- 13 million fully betting on 9.8 to 10 million, they must be very optimistic. --- Such concentration in the options market often reveals the true intentions of big funds.

The institutional bottom-fishing signal is so obvious, yet retail investors are still hesitating over whether to buy or not... $13 million worth of pressure at this price level, it's really intense.

$13 million poured in here, it seems institutions have already caught the scent Wintermute's move is indeed fierce, directly locking the 100,000 threshold When institutions band together, options trading begins to concentrate, this signal is too obvious The market maker has revealed their hand, retail investors are still just candlestick chasing Breakthrough is only a matter of time, the key is who can keep up with the rhythm This wave of allocation is coming, SOL and ETH are both moving $100,000 is like a threshold; once crossed, the world opens up Institutions have known all along, let's just wait and watch the show
