Greeks.live: Currently, the short-term IV of BTC is around 45%, and the short-term IV of ETH is around 54%.

According to Adam, a macro analyst from Greeks.live, as this round of rise gradually slows down, the implied volatility of major options terms has also decreased slightly. Currently, the short-term IV of BTC is around 45%, and the at-the-money IV of the term after the election is generally less than 60%. The short-term IV of ETH is around 54%, and the at-the-money IV of the term after the election is around 67%. In terms of Block Trading, there were more bearish options trades today, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total volume, with a total turnover of nearly 300 million US dollars. Only one contract of BTC-25OCT24-55000-P was actively bought for 90 million US dollars, which is obviously positioning for the US election and making a protective bearish move. Whales are likely to want to hold Spot while using bearish options to hedge against downside risks.
