BTC Volatility Weekly Review (November 11-November 18)

Key indicators (November 11, 4 p.m. – November 18, 4 p.m. Hong Kong time)

• BTC/USD price increased by 13.0% (81.2k-91.75k USD), ETH/USD price decreased by 0.3% (3.14k-3.13k USD)

• BTC/USD ATM volatility at the end of December increased by 5.2 points (51.8->57.0), and the skewness on December 25th increased by 2.7 points (3.2->5.9)

Spot technical indicators at a glance

The market started to accelerate upwards this past week, and any initial signs of overbought were eventually replaced by strong momentum. The market should have accumulated a lot of Gamma around 90k, because the market was initially blocked at this point many times, and then tried to break through upwards and finally reached 93.25k. At present, 91.75k-93.5k will be our top resistance level.

Referring to the chart above, the first support level is a diagonal support slightly below the current price level, which will continue to exert pressure to مرشد the market to test the price high. If the price completely breaks down this support level, we will find good support around $85k-86.25k again. But further down we expect to see a wave of violent position liquidation.

The daily and hourly ranges have already started to show signs of contraction. If the price fails to break above $93.5k, we would expect to see realized volatility adjust downwards. We remain bullish in the long term and reasonably expect a target of $105k-115k in Q1 of next year. But in the meantime, we expect the market to stabilize and take a short break over the next 6 months. If we see stronger evidence of a contraction in the range (at least in the short term) in the next week or two, this view will be confirmed and begin to put pressure on Gammashi positions.

The “Trump trade” continued in full force this week. The USD continued to rise against other fiat currencies, while US Treasury yields continued to climb. Cryptocurrencies once again showed no correlation with the USD. Bitcoin surged to over $90k, while other small coins also saw amazing gains. US stocks had a good week and saw a sharp drop in the VIX index, before taking a break over the weekend. But this was just a small correction in this bull trend.

The focus has now turned to Trumps cabinet picks, with تشفير eyes focused on the upcoming announcement of the Secretary of the Treasury. Scott Bessant initially looked like the most likely candidate, but Elon Musk endorsed Howard Lutnick over the weekend. Both could be considered crypto-friendly, though Lutnick is more so. However, it looks like the final pick is still a ways off, as Kevin Walsh and Mark Rowan have been added to the list in the past 24 hours.

It looks like there is continued demand after MSTR announced it bought over 27,000 BTC around the election, as the company’s shares are still trading at their highest point, with a 2.5x net asset premium to the spot price of Bitcoin. BTC/USD has been well supported on every pullback, and even with ETF outflows from ARKB and BITB on Thursday and Friday, the price still managed to re-enter $90k over the weekend.

• After the price of the coin broke through the resistance level of 80k-82k USD on Monday night, it continued to rise, and the implied volatility level rose sharply. As the market reached the level of 93k USD, the high-frequency actual volatility was pushed to the 60s, and then the price of the coin returned to the range of 87k-93k USD with a rather violent oscillation level.

• The volatility of the currency price came earlier than the market expected, and at the same time, the rapid increase in actual volatility caused the volatility term structure to invert rapidly. The ATM implied volatility on 29 Nov rose from a low of 47-48 10 days ago to a high of 65. The volatility levels farther out on the curve were also dragged up in a time-weighted manner.

• There is a structural argument that volatility will gradually weaken in the new situation. If Trump succeeds in pushing for regulation of cryptocurrencies, a large amount of funds will flow in and eventually provide support for the price of the currency, further reducing volatility. Moreover, the current price level has already taken this into account to a large extent. Although the price of the currency is still fluctuating sharply, the actual volatility is still not above the 60s, and the implied volatility of the same-day expiration continues to range from the lowest 50s to the highest 60s (the average level this year is 45-50). But for now, bullish momentum has stimulated demand for the 100k-150k price range from the end of the year to the end of January next year, while providing support for implied volatility.

الانحراف/التجانف

• Skewness continued to rise this week (mostly on the bullish side), mainly because the market is eagerly waiting for the price to break further upward. Implied volatility continues to show a positive correlation with the price. When the price fell to the 87-88k range, the implied volatility was suppressed across the curve, but sellers quickly withdrew whenever the price tried to break through the 91.5k-93.5k USD range again. In addition, the closing of in-the-money call spreads and rolling positions also drove the skewness up.

• As realized volatility moves faster, the kurtosis also increases significantly. This week we observed an increase in demand for upside wings, especially above $100k. We also saw some demand for downside wings in the shorter term, mainly for spot or margin protection.

أتمنى حظا طيبا للجميع في الأسبوع المقبل!

في الأسبوع الماضي، تمكن البيتكوين أخيرًا من اختراق مستوى الضغط السابق ودخل نطاق $67,000-$69,000. وفي الحادي والعشرين، تمكن من اختراق $69,000 ووصل إلى أعلى مستوى له عند $69,519. وعلى الرغم من مواجهته للمقاومة وهبوطه إلى $66,571 في نفس اليوم، عاد البيتكوين إلى ما فوق $67,000 حيث فتح السوق مراكز عند الانخفاضات. وحتى وقت نشر هذا المقال، تذبذب سعر البيتكوين حول $67,185 (البيانات المذكورة أعلاه من Binance spot، 22 أكتوبر الساعة 15:00). حاليًا، يتمتع البيتكوين بمستوى مقاومة قوي بالقرب من $70,000، والسعر معتدل نسبيًا على المدى القصير. ومع ذلك، ومع اقتراب الانتخابات الأمريكية، يظهر تأثير ترامب تدريجيًا ويقوم السوق بترتيب المواقف مسبقًا، وإذا نجح BTC في اختراق مستوى المقاومة، فمن المتوقع أن يتحدى...
