BTC IV remains low while Gamma reversal occurs, the options market presents a "near-term bearish, long-term bullish" structure

Odaily News: BTC IV at 38%, ETH IV at 53%. ETH Skew shows divergence, with the mid-to-long-term maintaining +2 to +4, indicating strong institutional bullish consensus. The short-term skew has sharply deteriorated to -8 to -12 due to CPI exceeding expectations and Powell's resignation, leading to a surge in short-term hedging demand. BTC/ETH GEX has shifted from a long Gamma, steady bull market strategy to short Gamma, widening short-term volatility and making it difficult for IV to drop significantly. The medium-term bullish structure remains intact, with the current situation appearing more like an event-driven release of short-term risk rather than a trend reversal. In block trades, 2,181.8 lots (worth $176 million) of BTC 5/15 expiry $82K Calls were traded; 11,026 lots (worth $24.97 million) of ETH June $2,100 Puts were traded.
