June Forecast: Ethereum (ETH) Option Investors Anticipate Significant Price Surge

  • Ethereum options are showing a concentration of contracts set to expire at the end of June, indicating a potential surge in value.
  • According to data from Deribit, over 617,000 contracts with a nominal value exceeding $1.8 billion are set to expire, reflecting a possible confidence in Ethereum’s potential for value appreciation.
  • Researcher Luke Nolan from CoinShares suggests that strike prices for end-of-June call options are concentrated above $3,600, with $6,500 being the most preferred strike price.

Ethereum options data hints at a potential surge in value by end of June, with a concentration of contracts set to expire and strike prices for call options concentrated above $3,600.

Massive Concentration in Ethereum Options Expiring in June

The significant number of call contracts and their substantial nominal value could reflect a confidence in Ethereum’s potential to appreciate in value by the end of June. The concentration of interest could also support the digital asset’s price if derivative investors choose to exercise their options when the specified strike prices begin to be exceeded.

Strike Prices Concentrated Above $3,600

According to Luke Nolan, a research analyst at CoinShares, strike prices for end-of-June call options are concentrated above $3,600, with $6,500 being the most preferred strike price. The analyst highlighted a significant nominal value of $192 million associated with the largest open interest before the June expiry at the $6,500 strike price, reflecting some investors’ confidence in Ethereum’s ability to reach or exceed this level.

Increasing Number of Unpaid Calls Ahead of June Expiry

Data also shows an increase in the number of unpaid calls compared to open positions in Ethereum options ahead of the end of June expiry. A ratio of call options below one indicates that the buying volume exceeds the selling volume, suggesting a bullish trend in the market. It is assumed that an investor buying a call option indirectly indicates a bullish trend in the market, while an investor buying a put option indicates a bearish trend.

Conclusion

The concentration of Ethereum options set to expire at the end of June, coupled with the preferred strike prices for call options, suggests a potential surge in Ethereum’s value. However, investors should exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions.
