Odaily Planet Daily News As geopolitical and economic uncertainties rise in the global financial markets, traders are hedging against the risk of a price drop to the $100,000 mark. Trading data shows a surge in demand for put options (downside protection tools that give holders the right to sell at a specific price), especially in short-term contracts. Among options expiring on June 20, the number of open contracts for puts with a strike price of $100,000 ranks highest, with a put/call ratio reaching 1.16, highlighting market concerns over a short-term decline. Analysis renewing, the cautious sentiment in the market stems from the high uncertainty environment faced by Federal Reserve policymakers—Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions and energy price fluctuations, compounded by inflation and labor market risks from the Trump administration's tariff policies. As the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time later on Wednesday, the market's focus will shift to its latest forecasts for economic growth, unemployment rates, and interest rates.
