News:
Open interest (OI) in bitcoin (BTC) options surpassed USD 1 billion ahead of the halving, with an exponential increase seen across all major marketplaces over the past week. Meanwhile, the bitcoin put-to-call ratio is also on the move, revealing some bearishness in the market.

Trading recommendation:
