Bitcoin futures, options market flash caution even as BTC chases $70K

Bitcoin bulls are chasing after $70,000 but cautious signals from the futures and derivatives market could explain why success remains elusive.
Key takeaways:
Bitcoin derivatives show persistent fear despite the current rally toward $70,000, as seen by futures premiums being pinned well below neutral levels.
The markets’ cautious stance stems from broad risk-aversion and lingering concerns over institutional BTC liquidations and Bitcoin network security.
