Expiry options operation log:
Starting over the weekend, bought ETH expiry options for the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 17th. The 13th and 14th nearly doubled during the late weekend evening, but on Monday, due to a market pullback, by 4:00 p.m. they went to zero. The 14th also went to zero yesterday;
The 15th was also almost about to go to zero. Last night’s CPI data was a major positive surprise, and once again it rebounded from near zero and was up about 3x. The 17th also surged by nearly 4x;
As for the end-of-term options, I’ve gradually started to find some rules this year:
- Most of the time you can’t buy; even when you do buy, it mostly goes to zero
- Only start laying in at key levels, such as at the breakout edge of a platform—either upward or downward is possible; for example, the ETH around 1800 in the past few days
- Lay in at structure breaks of prior lows (for example, the BTC at 75k in May)
If at this time you can also catch a positive catalyst like last night’s economic data, it can instantly skyrocket.
Some takeaways—recording them here. #btc @q #eth #skhynix
