Bitcoin options open interest fell 6.41% from the previous day to $30.29 billion. Calls accounted for the larger share of both outstanding positions and daily trading volume, with the $80,000 call leading activity.

Call options dominated Bitcoin options positioning and trading. The three most actively traded contracts were all calls, while a put ranked second among contracts by open interest.

As of November 14, 2026, at 12:05 UTC, total Bitcoin options open interest stood at $30.29 billion, down from $32.36 billion the previous day. Daily options trading volume totaled $8.46 billion.

Calls represented 56.66% of open interest, compared with 43.34% for puts. By 24-hour trading volume, calls accounted for 59.21% and puts for 40.79%.

The call share of daily volume exceeded its share of open interest, showing a stronger call bias in current trading than in outstanding positions. Calls also occupied all three leading volume positions, although the $60,000 put remained among the largest contracts by open interest.

The contracts ranked highest by open interest were the $80,000 call, the $60,000 put and the $100,000 call, in that order. All three were on Deribit and expire on December 25, 2026.

The leading contracts by 24-hour trading volume were Deribit's $80,000 call expiring on December 25, 2026, followed by its $73,000 call and $76,000 call, both expiring on November 20, 2026.

[Editor's note] Options are derivatives used to take leveraged exposure to an underlying asset or hedge existing positions. A call gives its holder the right to buy at a predetermined price, while a put gives the right to sell. Open interest measures outstanding contracts and indicates the scale of positions remaining in the market.

Call and put shares, together with changes in open interest and trading volume, help distinguish accumulated positioning from daily activity. These measures require context: a larger call share alone does not establish the direction of every trade or reveal whether a position forms part of a hedge.
