Odaily News As the hot rally in silver prices from the fourth quarter of last year has continued into the new year, the gold-to-silver ratio, closely watched by precious metals traders, fell below the 50 mark this week for the first time in 14 years. As noted by Goldman Sachs precious metals trader Augustin Magnien, silver is currently at the core of trade tensions. Previously, the United States included silver in its critical minerals list, while China has also imposed stricter export controls on silver. These geopolitical developments have spurred a surge in investor interest, pushing silver prices to record levels, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and portfolio diversification trends.

Odaily News: Galaxy's Head of Research, Alex Thorn, posted on platform X stating that although U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has not announced a new hearing date, as the Senate is in recess next week, the Banking Committee could potentially reconvene for a markup hearing as early as the week of January 26-30. The Senate Agriculture Committee, responsible for CFTC-related matters, had previously also postponed its markup hearing to January 27.
Previously, Tim Scott had announced the postponement of the crypto market structure bill hearing. It is reported that the issue of stablecoin yields is a key sticking point in the negotiations. Banking lobbyists are actively pushing to restrict stablecoin rewards, concerned that interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon off bank deposits and destabilize the banking system. A compromise proposal put forward to secure lawmaker support was ultimately deemed unacceptable by the stablecoin industry, with some viewing the issue as existential. Other unresolved issues include restrictions on DeFi and illicit activities, as well as limitations on innovations in tokenized securities.

Odaily News: Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, released a briefing for the Chinese community, stating, "20,000 BTC options are expiring, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.39, a max pain point of $92,000, and a notional value of $2.3 billion. 120,000 ETH options are expiring, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.04, a max pain point of $3,200, and a notional value of $430 million.
This week, BTC continued its upward trend for the year, once approaching $98,000, just a step away from the $100,000 psychological level. However, the pressure around $100,000 remains significant, with substantial sell-side call option accumulation at that level. Nearly $2.7 billion worth of options are expiring, representing an increase of over 20% compared to last week.
Last week, it was mentioned that data indicated strong support around the $90,000 level for BTC and the $3,000 level for ETH, with market sentiment also improving. This week indeed saw a continuation of the bull market.
However, looking at key options data, BTC's implied volatility (IV) has slightly decreased, while skew has slightly increased, indicating a relative decline in the price of put options. Meanwhile, all Put Call Ratios are above 1.0, suggesting that selling puts is currently the dominant trading force. At the same time, massive sell-side call positions have accumulated at the $100,000 level. Institutional investors' views this month primarily revolve around consolidation between $90,000 and $100,000, with both resistance and support being very strong."
Odaily News "1011 Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin posted on X platform, stating that without digital asset treasury companies, ETH might have been trapped in a range of $1,400-$4,800 during this cycle until fundamentals changed. However, digital asset treasury companies purchased approximately 5 million ETH and locked it up, altering the long-term supply structure and compressing the downside. The ratio of ETH on exchanges is even lower than that of BTC. Even in a bear market, it is nearly impossible for the ETH price to fall below $2,000. ETH is currently following the institutionalization path of BTC from January 2023 to November 2024. As long as the US stock market does not experience a significant decline, it is inevitable for ETH to reach new highs. Any view that "ETH will fall back below $2,000" is rigid and even foolish.
