While the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin started April with a decline, there were also significant retreats in altcoins.
At this point, while investors focused on the Bitcoin Halving, which is expected to take place on April 16, their eyes turned to Bitcoin and Ethereum options that will expire today.
First option data release of April According to the news of Singapore-based crypto options data platform Greeks.live, 18,000 BTC and 270,000 ETH options will expire on April 5.
According to this, BTC While the Put/Call Ratio of the options is 0.64, the maximum loss point is $68,000 and the notional value is $1.2 billion.
Looking at Ethereum ETH The options have a Put/Call Ratio of 0.38, a maximum loss point of $3,400 and a notional value of $890 million.
Stating that the second quarter is the first option maturity day and the cryptocurrency market is weak this week, Greeks.live said:
“The cryptocurrency market was weaker this week; The battle at $70,000 ended with the short sellers winning, making the sell-off the most dominant trade of the week.
While Bitcoin emerged from the upcoming halving with an emotional boost, other cryptocurrencies fell into a short-term bear market. Additionally, ETF inflows have slowed recently as the market digests the premium from ETFs.”
What Does the Put/Call Ratio Indicate for Bitcoin and Ethereum?
The put/call ratio is calculated by dividing the number of put options by the number of call options. A ratio below 1 means there are more purchases than puts, indicating an upward trend.
A ratio above 1 means there are more put options than call options, indicating a bearish trend. A ratio close to 1 means the market is balanced or neutral.
For Bitcoin, this rate is 0.64; For Ethereum it appears as 0.38. Accordingly, although these rates indicate an upward trend for BTC and ETH, they alone will not be sufficient data for an increase or decrease.
Time will tell how these rates, along with other data and signals, will affect prices. At this point, do not make your investment decisions based on a single data or report.
