The market volatility is for market participants, especially short- and medium-term traders who occupy the main force in derivatives trading. , It will inevitably be greatly affected, but it is also easier to see the subjective sentiment preference of the market, so the content of this week’s report is more of reference value than when it went out of unilateral decline in the previous week.

Among them, a large-scale centralized liquidation occurred during the period from 20:00-21:59 on June 22 , The total amount of liquidation in just two hours exceeded 226 million US dollars. It is worth mentioning that the market went out of a V-shaped reversal rapid rebound within a few hours after the end of this period, but in the process of rapid rise The market’s liquidation volume has dropped significantly. It can be seen that the impact of the sharp drop on market sentiment is still more pronounced.

Trading volume

On June 22, Bitcoin quickly rebounded due to a sharp intraday drop and ushered in a peak trading volume of nearly one and a half months. The total daily trading volume of the statistical platform on that day exceeded US$125 billion, but the market trading volume of the next two trading days There was a cliff-like decline, and the trading volume on June 24 was only 63 billion US dollars, which means that the futures market is gradually returning to the short-term opportunity of chasing short-term violent fluctuations. Although the market’s popularity picked up slightly in the following trading days, it only returned to about 70 billion U.S. dollars, which is still a big gap compared to the peak in the week.

Binance’s “dominant” position in trading volume remains stable. Whether it is at the peak or trough stage of trading volume, the trading volume of the Binance platform has remained stable at the level of half of the platform’s total trading volume in 11 statistics.

Basis

Compared with the basis data of the previous weekly report, the proportion of “green” basis data in this period has increased significantly. The proliferation of this “reverse market” signal from the medium and long-term to the short-term shows that the market is empty. The spread of emotions and the weak shocks of the market helped to ferment the bearish sentiment.

Futures (Ethereum)

The statistical scope of Ethereum futures includes BitMEX, Binance, Bitfinex, Bakkt, Bybit, CME, CoinFlex, Deribit, FTX, Huobi and OKEx.

Liquidation Overview

Last week (June 21 to June 27) Ethereum also fell first and then rebounded, but the rebound was significantly less powerful than Bitcoin. In contrast, Ethereum’s disk performance was significantly weaker.

The total liquidation of the Ethereum contract in the past week reached 708 million US dollars, and the time point of the peak of liquidation was exactly the same as that of Bitcoin. From 20:00-21:59 on June 22, the total amount of Ethereum liquidation reached 87 million US dollars during this period, which also accounted for more than one-tenth of the entire week’s data. Judging from the data of a single platform, OKEx still occupies a relatively obvious “advantage” position in the proportion of Ethereum contract liquidation.

Trading volume

The trading volume of Ethereum contracts saw a particularly large increase last Monday. The trading volume on that day rose from 28 billion U.S. dollars to 53 billion U.S. dollars. However, this high fever came to an end in the first two trading days of last week. After cooling down quickly, the trading volume of Ethereum basically returned to the average level of the previous week in the next few trading days of last week. Among them, the daily trading volume on June 24 also hit a recent low of 18 billion US dollars, which was a drop from the peak of the week. Reach 66%. This kind of performance is enough to show that in the absence of severe fluctuations, the popularity of Ethereum’s market participation is quickly “saying goodbye to the bull market.”

Open interest

The situation of cold holdings during the week is also obvious. The holdings basically maintained a unilateral downward trend throughout the week. From 5 billion US dollars at the beginning of the week, they fell all the way to 4.4 billion US dollars, and the trough reached 4.2 billion US dollars during the week. Based on the low level of nearly five months since the beginning of February this year, and the performance of the previous period’s data, it can be considered that this is the market’s lagging response to the previous period’s sharp drop.

Basis

The basis of the Ethereum contract is basically the same as that in the previous weekly report. The market’s short-term bearish attitude has not been effectively alleviated, and the market has not been able to follow the rapid rebound of Bitcoin after the sharp fall to recover lost ground and is constantly being short. Emotions add fire, and the market bearish atmosphere continues to ferment.

Open interest

Volatility

Bitcoin’s monthly and 10-day realized volatility has rebounded last week, but the trend of the data also expresses the recent “boring” market situation. Although the recent market has been up and down, the data has already expressed The dull status of the market.

In terms of implied volatility, the weekly data once soared to a new high in nearly a month on the day of the big drop, and then quickly fell back, indicating that the market has a strong “digestibility” of potential extreme market conditions. The volatility in the second half of last week has not been repeated. Stimulating a substantial increase in the implied volatility data, the relatively quiet market situation in the short term is expected to continue. Considering that the market will welcome the June K closing line within this week, this special node on the technical graph is expected to also suppress the market It’s not surprising that the implied volatility is flat.

PCR

In the past week, the Bitcoin trading volume PCR rebounded briefly and then fell again rapidly. The data showed a clearer short-term bearish attitude. The volatility and downward trend of the open interest PCR is also continuing. It can be considered that the open interest PCR is a very important medium and long-term bearish basis.

Option expiration

This week’s option expiration volume has dropped significantly compared to last week. After all, the market will usher in a relatively “easy” phase after the important node of the quarterly contract expiration. There will be only about 12500 options this Friday. Bitcoin options expire, this value is only less than one-sixth of the value that expired last Friday, and the impact on the market is minimal.
