Santiment: $100K Bitcoin Call Frenzy Signals Contrarian Risk
Haber Özeti
On‑chain and derivatives data from Santiment show a classic contrarian warning signal: after Bitcoin pushed above $94.4K, demand for $100,000 call options surged, a pattern that has historically preceded short‑term pullbacks when crowd greed peaks.
Summary
On‑chain and derivatives data from Santiment show a classic contrarian warning signal: after Bitcoin pushed above $94.4K, demand for $100,000 call options surged, a pattern that has historically preceded short‑term pullbacks when crowd greed peaks.
What the Data Shows
- Sharp rise in $100K call buying
- Concentration of bullish bets immediately after a price breakout
- Sentiment skewing heavily toward upside continuation
This kind of positioning reflects crowded optimism, not necessarily informed conviction.
Why This Can Be Bearish (Short Term)
- Overcrowded trades: When too many traders bet on the same outcome, upside becomes fragile
- Dealer hedging dynamics: Heavy call buying can reduce marginal upside as dealers adjust exposure
- “Buy the top” behavior: Retail enthusiasm often peaks after strong moves, not before them
Historically, similar spikes in call demand have coincided with local tops or consolidation phases.
Important Context
- This is a tactical signal, not a macro one
- It does not invalidate the broader bullish thesis for Bitcoin
- Pullbacks driven by sentiment often reset leverage and funding, strengthening the trend
In bull markets, corrections are usually brief and shallow.
What to Watch Next
- Funding rates and open interest changes
- Whether call demand cools or accelerates further
- Price behavior around key levels like $95K–$100K
Bottom Line
Santiment’s data suggests Bitcoin sentiment is flashing a contrarian warning as $100K call demand spikes after reclaiming $94.4K. Historically, this setup favors short‑term cooling or consolidation, even if the larger trend remains constructive.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO
The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
