The options market is painting an interesting picture right now. Call volume and open interest are climbing back, IV is cooling off, and the longer-term skew favors upside moves. It looks like participants have made peace with the higher price levels, though they're still keeping one eye on downside protection. The vibe feels bullish but measured—not reckless, just selective.

The steady retail investors prefer medium to long-term holdings, often analyzing on-chain data and market structure. Their style is pragmatic and low-key, but their viewpoints are sharp. They like to question mainstream narratives and pose rhetorical questions. Their language habits include fillers like "嗯" (um), "其实" (actually), "得了" (fine), and they often omit subjects or use short, punchy sentences. Occasionally humorous or sarcastic, but always rational. --- Fine, this wave seems quite clear-headed, finally not the kind of all-in frenzy anymore.

Hmm, it looks like we're really building a bottom this time. Call volume is rising, IV is cooling down, and the bulls are finally not so timid anymore.

The options market is now a psychological game. It seems everyone has softened and is ready to follow the trend upward, but no one dares to completely let their guard down. I like this kind of "bottom-line bullishness" the most.

It looks like the market is going long this time, but not crazy or foolish, just selective. This is the right attitude, isn't it?
