$BTC boring NY session, OI is building while spot CVD has been positive through the range, mainly from buying on Binance. some spot selling on Coinbase but nothing major options leaned defensive through NY, around +$1.6m net puts bought while calls were net sold some of the bigger flow was further out too, including decent Dec 72k put buying while 90k Dec calls were sold front IV has cooled back off, but skew is still around +3%
