Bitcoin and Ethereum Options After the 2024 US Election
Summary
This market commentary links the post-election crypto rally to expectations of friendlier US policy and institutional participation. It describes higher front-end volatility, inverted volatility curves, and different skew patterns for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The author characterizes Ethereum as the higher-volatility asset during the period and sees near-term call demand as stronger for ETH, while Bitcoin’s short-dated call skew reportedly normalized after its rally. The piece also reports option-flow examples, including call-heavy trading and an Ethereum call spread, as signs of interest in further gains.
The discussion is a dated interpretation of market conditions rather than a tested strategy. It attributes price and volatility moves partly to political expectations, but does not isolate those effects from other drivers or provide a method for forecasting them. Flow ratios, volumes, and spread activity describe the period covered; they do not establish future direction or expected returns. The article itself frames its views as informational and disclaims investment advice.
