Bitcoin and Ethereum Fall Raises Questions

Post-Bitcoin halving performance of Bitcoin (ETH) and Ethereum (ETH) prices raised questions of whether the market has lost faith or is this just a short pause in a longer-term bull run.

QCP Capital, a Singapore-based digital asset trading company, in a new trade idea on April 27 noted the volumes in Bitcoin and Ethereum options have compressed drastically. This week, heavy selling of BTC options has seen the vol curve collapse, with Bitcoin vols further compressing from 70% to 50%. The company added that if people are looking to buy BTC and ETH, then this consolidating market is the best time to accumulate longs. 

Other the other side, the downside skew in Ethereum (ETH) risk reversals has also dropped further to -13%, said QCP Capital. This could be due to recent reports of SEC possibly denying or further delaying spot Ether ETF. According to people familiar with the matter, the SEC and its staff have shown no interest in the spot Ether ETF and its potential. Four people who participated said the discussions were one-sided.
