Greeks.live 宏观研究员 Adam 在 X 平台发文表示：26.7 万张 BTC 期权到期，Put Call Ratio 为 0.35，最大痛点 95000 美元，名义价值 236 亿美元。128 万张 ETH 期权到期，Put Call Ratio 为 0.45，最大痛点 3100 美元，名义价值 37.1 亿美元。今年是年度到期日，是史上最大的加密货币期权到期日，共有近 280 亿美元的期权到期，比特币和以太坊价格今年第四季度大幅下跌，年底才企稳，目前 BTC 已经跌破 9 万美元整数关口，ETH 跌破 3000 美元整数关口，月线四连阴，市场情绪较为低迷。从主要的期权数据看，隐含波动率因为受到波动下降和圣诞节假期等多个因素影响，BTC 的主要期限 IV 平均在 40%附近，ETH 的主要期限 IV 在 60%，在今年均属于中等水平。今天有超过一半的期权完成交割，交割前，期权大宗交易量和交易占比持续上升，主要是移仓的需求；交割后，3 月到期的季度期权为最大持仓，占到了总持仓的 30%以上，主要以虚值看涨期权为主。今年的四季度行情可以说是历年以来最差的，由于行业的周期因素和发展缓慢，市场情绪较差，更适合卖方策略。
