Equity markets hit new all-time highs, but Bitcoin remains range-bound between 100K and 110K, with volatility suppressed by heavy call-overwriting from institutional accumulators.
Hosts Imran Lakha (Options Insight) and David Brickell (FRNT) discuss the fading geopolitical tensions, a supportive Goldilocks macro environment, and Fed speakers’ dovish shift towards more rate cuts. Despite a $300B liquidity drain at quarter-end, Bitcoin’s resilience and low volatility (near-year lows at 30) offer cheap upside potential. Ethereum’s volatility spread narrows, offering volatility trading opportunities.
