Following last week’s drop in spot prices, implied volatility has surged across the major cryptocurrency term structure, especially for ETH, where short-term volatility in 7-day options has matched longer-term contracts. The derivatives market is tilting towards out-of-the-money (OTM) puts for short-term options, indicating bearish sentiment as spot prices remain subdued.

Key findings from the report include:

  • Declines in perpetual open interest:Open interest in perpetuals rose sharply after the early August sell-off, but has fallen steadily since then. Trading volumes have also fallen, suggesting waning confidence in the market as volatility persists.
  • SOL funding rates are turning negative:SOL entered a period of consistently negative funding rates after posting positive results in delayed August. This contrasts with other tokens such as CRV, which maintained positive rates, and TON, which turned negative following the arrest of Telegram’s CEO.
  • BTC put options are ahead of call options:Bearish sentiment is forceful in BTC options markets, with puts now showing more open interest than calls. This trend is also reflected in ETH, although calls remain slightly ahead, suggesting more cautious optimism in Ether markets.
  • The report also highlights that short-term pessimism is rising, with fewer traders renewing call options after August contracts expire. As spot prices remain feeble, this trend reflects broader market skepticism about positive price action in the near future.
