DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in partnership with Block Scholes, unveils its November Option Volatility Report, spotlighting Bitcoin(BTC)'s remarkable milestone of surpassing $100K. This detailed analysis delves into key market dynamics and option volatility trends, offering insights to guide traders through the evolving crypto landscape.

Bitcoin's Volatility on the Path to $100K

Bitcoin's journey to $100K has been fueled by surging demand for call options and strong bullish sentiment, particularly leading up to the U.S. presidential election on November 5.

Implied Volatility Surge: Short-term implied volatility spiked 25 percentage points higher than post-election expirations, signaling traders' anticipation of significant price movements tied to electoral outcomes.
Call/Put Skew Dynamics: Elevated demand for bullish call options underpins the market's optimism. Despite a temporary retracement to $91.3K, futures markets reflected persistent bullishness, affirming confidence in BTC's resilience.

Ethereum Outshines Bitcoin Post-Election

Ethereum (ETH) continues to gain traction, bolstered by pivotal market events, including the resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

ETH's Momentum: Traders are increasingly favoring ETH, as evidenced by a declining BTC-to-ETH spot price ratio and rising demand for ETH options.
Implied Volatility Premium: ETH's options market demonstrates robust bullish sentiment, with a stronger skew towards calls compared to Bitcoin.

Insights from the Report

The report captures the nuanced interplay of volatility, trader sentiment, and macroeconomic factors shaping the crypto market's future. Key takeaways include:

The sustained bullish outlook for Bitcoin despite short-term volatility adjustments.
Ethereum's growing dominance and potential to outperform Bitcoin in the near term.
The significant influence of political and regulatory developments on crypto market dynamics.

Commenting on Bitcoin's milestone achievement of $100K, Shunyet Jan, Head of Institution at Bybit, emphasized the pivotal role of recent political developments in driving the surge.

"The recent rally can largely be attributed to Trump's pick of Paul Atkins, a former SEC Chair and a vocal crypto supporter. This announcement has significantly bolstered institutional confidence in the crypto space," said Jan.

Jan further highlighted the shift in sentiment among traditionally crypto-cautious institutions:

"Many institutions that were previously hesitant about crypto have now reached out to explore opportunities. They are actively engaging with us to onboard and propose various custodial solutions. This marks a transformative moment in the institutional adoption of cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin's $100K milestone serving as a critical inflection point."
