Bitcoin Traders Wary of Price Drop in U.S. Election Week, CME Options Show
Briefly

"It looks like bitcoin options traders appear to be hedging their bets to the downside ahead of the U.S. election this week. Through a .25 delta risk reversal we can see that contracts expiring within a week are slightly negative - meaning puts more expensive than calls - compared to longer-dated maturities of either 2 weeks or 30 days, where the skew reverts to being positive again."
"The so-called 25-delta risk reversal for contracts expiring Friday was -1.3% on Monday, showing a bias for puts. The metric measures the difference in implied volatility between out-of-the-money higher strike calls and lower strike OTM puts, providing an easy to read picture of the market sentiment."
