At 9:00 am Beijing time, Trump and Harris held their first presidential debate as scheduled. Neither mentioned cryptocurrencies, but mainly discussed traditional topics such as foreign policy and immigration. According to data from Polymarket, as the debate progressed, the balance of victory slowly shifted to Harris, and the market reaction also highlighted traders attention to the election results. Although cryptocurrencies were not directly mentioned, the expectation of Trumps declining chance of winning was undoubtedly transmitted to the prhielo of digital currencies. The political uncertainty brought about by the draw made traders more cautious, and short-term negative risk aversion reappeared, causing BTC to fall by -1.6% in one hour and then tested the $56,000 support.

On the other hand, the change of Vol Skew reflects the recent ups and downs of the market sentiment. Yesterday, the performance of BTC spot ETF ending negative inflow was regarded by investors as a shift in market sentiment. The price challenged 58,000 and led to the return of Vol Skew. Today, although Ethereums ETF also ended the outflow of funds and BTC continued to inflow, the negative risk aversion caused by political uncertainty still poured cold water on the enthusiasm that had just been ignited in the market. Correspondingly, from the perspective of trading, the price rebound and the return of Vol Skew created cheap opportunities to buy Put on BTC, and a lot of put options were bought in various terms, especially at the end of November. On ETH, the flow brought by this market is a large number of selling Calls. The more representative one is the 20 SEP multiple custom strategies from bulk, which sold 2350 and 2400 call options at the same time and obtained high Premium income.
