Support in the ether.

It looks like we’ve hit a decent level of support for ether as we hug the $2,200 level and, coincidentally, the 38 Fibonacci retracement level - one of the indicators traders use to gauge potential price stall or reversal.

As we wait for more constructive price trends to re-emerge within the market, it’s a good time to check in on the macro environment. While we’ve recently seen an uptick in interest rates (10-year currently at 4.12%), the longer-term trend lower, for real rates, is still supportive for digital assets, especially the smaller-cap altcoins contained within the CoinDesk 20 Index- a benchmark that tracks top cryptocurrencies.

So how did the crypto options market price in the bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) launch? From a quick ex-post analysis of option implied vs subsequent realized volatility (see below), expectations in the markets have subsided after the event, and it looks like the bitcoin options market gang correctly priced in the market reaction while team ether options were asleep behind the wheel w.r.t. the rally in ETH post bitcoin spot ETF launch.

Bitcoin options have been more efficiently priced over the period, too. Perhaps team ether got too fat and happy off of collecting that implied vs. realized premium spread?

Bitcoin surrendered gains from earlier in the week, fell back toward $90,000 as traders braced for Wednesday’s Federal Reserve rate decision.

Bilinmesi gerekenler:

  • A 25 basis-point interest-rate cut has been priced in for weeks, and risk assets could drop on the news if no fresh catalysts emerge.
  • Tokens like HYPE, STRK, QNT and KAS fell 6%–9% in 24 hours
  • CoinMarketCap’s altcoin-season index sits at a cycle low of 18/100.
  • Bitcoin is down 20% over 90 days and more than half of the top-100 tokens have fallen at least 40%. FET and TIA are among the worst performers while ZEC, DASH, BNB and BCH stand out as rare stabilizers.
