According to The Block, Bitcoin continued trading below $78,000 on Monday, following net outflows of $1.26 billion from spot Bitcoin ETFs during the week of May 18–22—the second consecutive week of outflows exceeding $1 billion. Nevertheless, Timothy Misir, Research Head at BRN, noted that institutional demand has not vanished but is rotating: during the same period, the XRP ETF attracted $22 million in inflows, the Solana ETF drew $16 million, the newly launched Hyperliquid HYPE ETF garnered $72 million, while the Ethereum ETF saw outflows of $216 million. Ethereum also faced pressure due to the SEC’s delay of its tokenized stock trading initiative, though it posted a modest rebound on Sunday amid heightened optimism surrounding the Iran deal. On the options front, for Bitcoin expiring on May 29, the largest open interest concentrations were at the $75,000 put and $80,000 call strikes; for Ethereum, the largest open interest concentration was at the $2,100 put strike. On the macro front, U.S. and European markets were closed for public holidays, and analysts warned of low market liquidity. Should the Iran deal materialize, it could trigger a sharp drop in oil prices and push equity markets to new highs.

Santiment released its weekly market summary, noting that Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows on 9 of the past 10 trading days, with Bitcoin’s current price around $77,500; it interprets this as a sign of weakening retail investor confidence. Meanwhile, Ethereum market sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since 2023, though its number of non-zero addresses stands at 192.92 million—more than three times Bitcoin’s approximately 59 million. Santiment also pointed out that the current Bitcoin bullish-to-bearish commentary ratio has risen to 2.23, the highest level within 2026; historically, such elevated sentiment often precedes short-term pullbacks.

According to GreeksLive, today 21,000 BTC options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.66, maximum pain at $78,500, and notional value of $1.6 billion; 129,000 ETH options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.92, maximum pain at $2,200, and notional value of $280 million. This week, BTC concluded a one-and-a-half-month rally amid muted market conditions; expiring BTC and ETH options each account for only ~5% of total open interest. BTC’s maximum pain level lies close to the current spot price, implying relatively strong gamma/pin risk; ETH’s expiry volume is half that of last week, and its current spot price sits below maximum pain—short-term implied volatility (IV) is highly likely to decline post-expiry. IV across all major maturities declined broadly: BTC IV fell below 35%, ETH IV fell below 50%, and the Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) rose slightly. On the large-trade front, whales concentrated positions in bearish put spreads (5,000-lot 75K/71K puts expiring end-May), totaling nearly $200 million in notional value. Overall, volatility expectations remain low, and market activity falls short of expectations.
