SignalPlus 波動率專欄 (20240731)：FOMC 展望

Following Trumps speech in support of digital currency at the Bitcoin 2024 Summit on Sunday, news came out the next day that the US government had transferred a large amount of Bitcoin. The potential selling pressure caused investors to feel risk averse. BTC fell from a high of $70,000 to the familiar level of around $66,000. The inflow of funds into BTC ETFs also declined. However, from the ETH side, we saw that ETF products led by Blackrock ETHA resisted the selling pressure from Grayscale ETHE with higher positive capital inflows. The Flow on JUL 30 successfully turned positive, providing confidence for stabilizing prices.

Today, investors are most concerned about the FOMC meeting at 2 a.m., and the end-of-day options have already priced in the uncertainty with a high premium. But the uncertainty of this meeting does not come from the decision-making. In fact, according to foreign media surveys and statistics, almost all economists expect that there will be no change in interest rates this time. We should pay more attention to Powells subsequent press conference. The market expects that the Fed may first make subtle changes in the wording in the statement and acknowledge the recent improvement in inflation and the balance between inflation and the labor market. People do not expect Fed officials to show great enthusiasm for rate cuts at this meeting, but they may provide initial hints of a rate cut in September and information on what indicators to pay attention to next. For investors who want more and clearer signals, they may have to wait until the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting in August, when the Fed Chairman will give a speech at the meeting and announce some important information.

In terms of trading, investors bought a large number of put options on ETH 2 AUG for protection, and sold a large number of call options in the middle and front ends, causing the Vol Skew to fall in this range; in terms of BTC, the market sold call options on 2 AUG to eat the premium brought by the uncertainty of FOMC. At the same time, there was still sufficient supply on the far top side. The more representative ones were 1,000 September 95,000-C call purchases, 85,000 vs 55,000 Long Risky, and December 65,000 vs 100,000 call rolls, which pushed up the premium on the topside wing and tilted the far Vol Skew towards call options.

相關：新的全球共識？ 「加密總統」的隊伍正在壯大

原作者：霍霍 2024年是超級選舉年，全球數十個國家和地區舉行關鍵選舉，涉及總人口超過40億。美國大選無疑是最大焦點。不過，與以往不同的是，在所有參加2024年美國大選的超級政治行動委員會中，加密貨幣話題的受歡迎程度排名第三。我還記得四年前，總統候選人很少在競選活動中討論比特幣。三年前，當薩爾瓦多首次採用比特幣作為法定貨幣時，每個人都還在觀望。然而，去年的初選，情況開始發生變化，加密在政治中被邊緣化的時代似乎一去不復返了。一方面，前總統川普...
