According to @GreeksLive, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently range-bound due to geopolitical uncertainty, with trading firm QCP noting a defensive shift in derivatives markets where puts command a premium. Despite this anxiety, QCP's on-chain data shows institutional buying continues to provide strong support. Concurrently, NYDIG Research highlights that both realized and implied volatility for BTC are trending lower, creating a 'summer lull'. This low-volatility environment makes options strategies, including calls for upside exposure and puts for downside protection, 'relatively inexpensive' according to NYDIG. Traders are advised to monitor key upcoming catalysts that could drive price action, such as the SEC's decision on the GDLC conversion on July 2 and the Crypto Working Group's findings deadline on July 22.
