Options Market
BTC and ETH both experienced a cooldown this week. ETH relinquished most of its gains from the post-Jackson Hole speech rally, while BTC fell more significantly, dipping below $110,000 for the first time since early July. Realized volatility surged, with BTC approaching 40 and ETH exceeding 80. Implied volatility moved in sync but trended lower as the market approached the extended U.S. Labor Day weekend. ETH call skew softened across the curve, while long-term BTC call skew remained steady. In the near term, puts are now favored.
