Weekly recap of the crypto derivatives markets by BlockScholes.
Key Insights:
The past seven days have seen a number of notable macro developments to which BTC and ETH have responded. On July 2, a strong JOLTS report (that showed the largest number of job openings since November) and a US trade deal with Vietnam spurred a short rally in BTC towards $109K. That rally was extended a day later, following a stronger-than-expected Non-farm payrolls report in the US which showed the US economy added 147,000 jobs in June – far exceeding expectations of 106,000. The volatility premium on short-tenor BTC options dropped even lower in the week, finding a floor at 26% while spot price has hovered between $105K and $110K. In comparison, similar-dated ETH options carry a volatility premium slightly below 60% and spot price has maintained a range of $2400-2600.
