Odaily News Matrixport released a chart today stating that since late August, the options skew for BTC and ETH has consistently remained in negative territory, with the market pricing long-term dominance for downside protection. The implied volatility of put options is relatively higher, and overall sentiment is cautious. In a horizontal comparison, the skew of BTC generally weakens compared to ETH. The deepening of the skew in mid-November reflects a market under pressure, with a noticeable increase in demand for put options and heightened risk-averse sentiment. Although the skew has recently rebounded, it still remains in negative territory, and the pricing focus in the options market continues to lean toward downside risks, with insufficient pricing for reversals. The repair of the skew also signifies a cooling of pessimistic sentiment, and the bearishness in the market has somewhat eased.
