The call option volume on the S&P 500 just hit a record high—over 4 million contracts in a single day on Tuesday, while put options remained at average levels. This figure is more telling than the index level: it indicates that capital is not hedging against a pullback but is afraid of missing out. The option skew has shifted significantly to the right, and implied volatility is being propped up by bullish sentiment refusing to drop. In contrast, with $BTC stuck at 64K, risk-on money is clearly crowding into US stocks' AI sector, not flowing into crypto. The first derivative signal that sentiment has peaked will be when this skew starts to ease and put demand returns. Data won’t play along with you; watch the positions speak.
