Analysis: The implied volatility of BTC, ETH, and SOL short- and medium-term options has risen significantly

PANews, January 26 – Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, analyzed that at 3:00 a.m. this Thursday, January 29, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision. In addition, due to the recent international uncertainty and the continued decline of bitcoin, the implied volatility of short- and medium-term options has risen significantly. BTC short-term implied volatility has exceeded 45%, ETH short-term implied volatility has reached 63%, and SOL short-term implied volatility has also surpassed 60%. The one-week term has increased by more than 10% compared to the same period last week.

However, the market currently almost unanimously believes that the interest rate decision will not result in a rate cut, and it is highly likely that the status quo will be maintained at the end of the month. More than a quarter of options positions will expire in January, and the probability of implied volatility falling back by then is high. Overall, now is a good opportunity to sell short-term options, and even selling both sides is a good choice.
