Bitcoin and Ethereum options with a notional value of $2.14 billion will expire and settle on May 1.
Golden Finance reports that, based on options settlement data as of May 1, 23,000 BTC options are expiring, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.13, a maximum pain point of $76,000, and a notional value of $1.74 billion; 175,000 ETH options are expiring, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.94, a maximum pain point of $2,325, and a notional value of $400 million.
This week’s market volatility was relatively small, and market sentiment gradually returned to calm. Short-term RV fell sharply, and in addition, monthly settlement released nearly a quarter of the position margin. The implied volatility of the major tenor options during this week showed a clear decline. Bitcoin’s main tenor IV fell across the board below 40%, ETH’s main tenor IV dropped even more, with short-term IV falling below 50% and medium- to long-term IV falling below 60%.
