Once key downside support is broken, market focus will shift from spot trading to derivatives. This turning point is crucial—when volatility takes center stage, the skewness of options becomes an essential indicator for traders to watch. Especially with large assets like Bitcoin, changes in skewness often reflect the market's true expectations of price direction. Whether institutional or retail, understanding the meaning of the volatility curve is essential to seize opportunities in the derivatives market.

To be honest, the derivatives market is too complex, and retail investors who get involved are likely to be the ones who get exploited.

Once support breaks, you have to play derivatives. It sounds easy, but in reality, most people are still caught in the tricks... The concept of skewness sounds sophisticated, but how many truly understand it?

Support level broken, derivatives will take off. I've heard this logic too many times... and what happened? Still got crushed through.
Tilt? Forget it, I still find K-line charts more reliable.
Options, retail traders playing around with them often end up as the little guys, really.
Volatility curve stuff sounds nice, but actually it's just guessing the market maker's intentions.
If Bitcoin really breaks below the support this time, derivatives trading volume will skyrocket, but who makes money? That's another story.
Those who understand the volatility curve have long been in hedge funds. People like us? Better to just hold coins honestly.

Skewness is a fancy term; in reality, it's just a probability game in a casino.

Ah, this wave of skewness analysis sounds quite reasonable, but in practice, you'll still get trapped, haha.

Once the support breaks, you start trading derivatives? Easy to say, but when that time comes, most retail investors will have to take the loss😅
