According to @glassnode, Bitcoin’s 6M/1M implied volatility ratio is elevated with only 3.2% of days showing higher readings. According to @glassnode, options markets are increasingly pricing medium-term uncertainty, indicating rising concern about structural or macro risks. According to @glassnode, the elevated ratio means six-month BTC options are priced with higher implied volatility relative to one-month options, highlighting a steepening options term structure that traders track for risk management.

According to QCPgroup, gold prices dropped nearly 3% before rebounding as the market shifted back to a typical macro environment with a stronger US dollar and rising yields, leading to lower gold prices. Volatility declined across the board, with the VIX falling to 18 and Bitcoin front-end implied volatility compressing by over 5 vols. This shift in market dynamics has resulted in reduced crypto trading volatility, suggesting a more stable near-term outlook for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.
