Call options are contracts giving the buyer the right to purchase an asset at a set price before a deadline. A flurry of call option buying activity indicates traders are betting bitcoin's price will exceed $95,000 by late April or May — a tradeable signal for retail traders.

“Still, with macro risks temporarily subdued and trade tensions cooling, BTC is likely to consolidate in a narrow $90K–$94.5K range while awaiting a decisive push toward the elusive $100K mark,” the firm said, reiterating its tone of remaining “cautious” as market sentiment hinges on macroeconomic factors.

Among majors, XRP, BNB Chain’s BNB stayed flat and Solana’s SOL showed a 2% bump. and Cardano’s ADA zoomed more than 4%, while added 5%.

The broad-based CoinDesk 20, a liquid index tracking the largest tokens by market capitalization, rose 1.2%.

Outside of majors, Sui Network’s SUI continued a multiday rally to bring weekly gains to over 62%. Catalysts include the ecosystem company xPortal, which is releasing a payment card that runs on the Mastercard network.
