PANews, April 18 - Greeks.live analyst Adam stated that on April 18, 23,000 BTC options will expire with a Put Call Ratio of 0.96, a maximum pain point of $82,000, and a nominal value of $1.97 billion. Meanwhile, 177,000 ETH options will expire with a Put Call Ratio of 0.84, a maximum pain point of $1,600, and a nominal value of $280 million.

Additionally, Adam analyzed that this week the market has become much calmer, with fewer news releases from Trump, leading to a cooling down of the market. Current short-term RV is only at 30%, and IV has significantly declined this week, dropping below 40%. Mid to long-term RV is between 50% to 60%, with IV concentrated around 50%. The expected trade and tariff wars have far from concluded, and the market's uncertainty will persist for a long time, along with ongoing market volatility. The delivery volume accounts for less than 10% of the total open interest, and the PCR has remained high recently, indicating that market concerns over a decline have significantly outweighed expectations for a rise. The April and June options open interest both remain around 25%, making the market structure relatively stable, with a high probability of sideways movement. However, this is the painful transition from bull to bear market, with investor sentiment quite low. In such poor conditions, the probability of a black swan event increases significantly, making buying deep out-of-the-money puts a good choice.
