Call option ETFs see inflows, spot selling pressure persists, Bitcoin's breakthrough of $80,000 faces resistance

Bitcoin’s move above $80,000 is encountering resistance as market participants weigh continued spot-market selling pressure against inflows into call option ETFs, according to Moomoo. The competing signals point to a market in which bullish positioning through options has not fully offset selling activity in the underlying asset.

Call options generally give holders the right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset at a specified price before a set date. Inflows into ETFs using call-option strategies can indicate demand for exposure to potential upside, though such flows do not by themselves determine Bitcoin’s spot price direction.

Spot selling pressure refers to sales of the underlying asset for immediate settlement, rather than derivatives trading. As Bitcoin tests the $80,000 level, the reported resistance highlights the importance of whether demand can absorb ongoing spot sales. Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market prominence, and its major price thresholds are closely watched across digital-asset markets.
