Crypto consolidates as volatility cools and futures markets tilt bearish

Derivatives data indicates a growing bearish sentiment among traders, with increased open interest in Solana futures and a preference for put options over calls on Deribit. Despite altcoin outperformance in DeFi and AI sectors, the broader market remains in a downtrend, suggesting this strength may be temporary and dependent on Bitcoin's next move. Low volatility and subdued futures activity point to a lack of conviction in the current market, increasing the risk of sharp price movements once a direction is established. Negative dealer gamma exposure below $68,000 could exacerbate downward price action as dealers may sell to hedge, amplifying volatility in a falling market.
