2024-05-07 11:08
Odaily News Analysts say the uncertainty surrounding Ethereum's future price has made the asset's options implied volatility much higher than Bitcoin. In contrast, Bitcoin's implied volatility has fallen more, suggesting that derivatives traders believe the Bitcoin market is stabilizing. Implied volatility (IV) is an indicator used in the options market that represents the market's prediction of possible future movements or price fluctuations of an asset or security. Data shows that Ethereum's IV has not fallen as much as Bitcoin during the current market adjustment period after the halving. Bitcoin's volatility index fell from 72% at the time of the halving event to a multi-month low of 55%, while the same indicator for Ethereum fell less during the same period, from 76% to the current 65%.
