COINOTAG news reported on September 20, based on data from Greeks.live, that today will see the expiration and delivery of 20,200 BTC options. The Put Call Ratio stands at 0.86, the maximum pain point is set at $59,000, and the nominal value is $1.28 billion. Concurrently, 125,000 ETH options are also set to expire and be delivered today, boasting a Put Call Ratio of 0.67, a maximum pain point of $2,350, and a nominal value of $320 million.
According to Greeks.live researcher Adam, the cryptocurrency market has continued its rebound this week. This momentum is partly attributed to the Federal Reserve’s final rate cut of 50 basis points, which slightly surpassed market expectations, significantly boosting market confidence. As the third quarter concludes, investors are strategizing for the fourth quarter. Following the rate cut, the implied volatilities (IVs) of all major maturities have decreased. With quarterly delivery imminent, IVs remain under downward pressure. Since September, BTC has demonstrated strong performance, while ETH has lagged, despite a rebound in its exchange rate against BTC at the key support level of 0.04. The upcoming October market scenario is one to watch closely.
