HTX Research is observing a growing wave of bullish sentiment in the crypto markets as Bitcoin holds steady and traders begin shifting capital into high-potential altcoins.
The latest edition of HTX’s market insights column, HTX DeepThink, led by analyst Chloe, highlights that this optimism is fueled by a unique combination of calm volatility and rising call option activity, setting the stage for potential upside across both major and emerging digital assets.

Derivatives data reveal that the call-to-put open interest ratio has climbed to 1.55, indicating a bullish skew, while premiums on call options have increased. At the same time, short-term implied volatility has dropped to an 18-month low of 35–40%. This unusual mix of strong sentiment alongside low volatility suggests the market is entering a euphoric phase, with Bitcoin potentially targeting the $105,000 to $115,000 range over the next 30 to 45 days. However, analysts caution that such conditions may mask excessive leverage, making the market vulnerable to sharp corrections if volatility surges or Bitcoin falls below key support levels like $100,000.
As Bitcoin stabilizes, investor focus is increasingly rotating toward fundamentally sound altcoins that could capture momentum. Notably, HTX points to opportunities within the SUI ecosystem, which has reached an all-time high in market capitalization, yet its supporting projects have not seen proportional growth. Among these, Haedal is the dominant liquid staking protocol on SUI with a 76% market share. At the same time, Bluefin, the network’s leading perpetual decentralized exchange, remains undervalued despite generating $8.2 million in annualized revenue.
In parallel with these market dynamics, HTX Research has introduced Sonic, a new blockchain infrastructure to overcome the scalability challenges that have historically hindered DeFi platforms. The launch of Sonic, accompanied by the detailed report “Sonic: A Model for the New DeFi Paradigm,” positions it as a potential catalyst for the next wave of decentralized finance growth, further expanding the opportunities within the evolving crypto ecosystem.
