Interested to see where crypto vol will be at into Q1 '23 as EoY has definitely been relatively quiet post CPI fade. Charts by @genesisvol

Feels like all eyes on an ETH ETF next.. Always another narrative to be focused on in this space. Wonder if this is the time for a catch-up.

8/ Given the massive move last week happening primarily over a single day, there’s no use arguing whether the chicken comes before the egg. There was a combination of factors driving this move, and hedging from dealer gamma exposure certainly played a part.

1/ Markets Update: BTC finally breached the 40K level for the first time since April 2022, recovering to Pre-Terra levels. Speculated to be driven by liquidations, spot demand, and longer-term views betting on Fed cuts and ETF hopes.

6/ This is not just a single entity. This is an aggregate of gamma exposure tagged, which can mean although $X of hedging may occur at Y levels; the timing and execution of hedging differs for every dealer entity and the various factors/weights they place on certain factors.

10/ What is worth arguing, however, is that a “Gamma Squeeze” could happen again this week. Sure, dealer gamma exposure has moved higher, and subsequent moves in the spot could bring in some of that forced hedging flow again, but there were several factors last week...

@hansolar21 @kingfisher_btc Chiming in W/ extra info; Gamma is most impactful in short dated option expiries. (Like that chunk of 26K 24FEB expiry that traded last week). Also because hedging has more of an impact on crypto than in the very liquid equity markets. Great Thread! 🫡🚀

Call skew is still elevated across the board, funding rates are positive, but not many tailwinds heading forward for the next couple of months. Some eyes on the BTC halvening as a tradable opportunity, but really seems like we're in a lull in which we may see some…

Haha my forecast ended up happening quicker than expected for sure. Really solid trades by those who bought outright short-dated gamma + any upside call spreads.
