Directional perp premium has turned negative for the first time since 2022, marking a clear shift toward net short positioning in derivatives markets. With $BTC's recent bounce to $74k, this suggests a crowded short trade is potentially building beneath the surface.
















New Metric Launch: Options Max Pain (Time Series) Max Pain is the strike price at which the total value of expiring options (calls + puts) is minimized, theoretically maximizing losses for option holders. Glassnode now tracks this across maturity buckets (1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, aggregated) at 10-min, hourly, and daily resolution. 📉glassno.de/4rvkAIk








Bitcoin Price Momentum + Impulse define market phases. When both align, BTC moves from transition into expansion. When they fail, rallies fade and bearish phases extend. Momentum Transition (Light blue) is the early ignition window. Momentum Expansion (Dark blue) marks when impulse and momentum align for cleaner rallies. In January, BTC attempted a bullish shift but failed. Now it is back in transition, with slight positive impulse. Ignition is emerging, but sustained positive momentum is what confirms the shift.
