QCP Capital Market Update – 1 Apr 24
– A dovish Powell last Friday kept markets supported over the long weekend.
– In the last 24 hours, we’ve seen significant interest to sell calls and buy puts in both BTC and ETH.
– This has put some downward pressure on spot price and has also kept implied vols high, particularly in ETH where demand for puts have been much higher than for calls in the front-end (downside risk reversal skew -5% in April)
Trade Idea:
– Accumulators have been outstanding in this range-y market, allowing investors to buy BTC close to 50k level even with BTC spot trading around 70k.
– A 12-week Accumulator (spot ref 68.5k) allows you to buy BTC weekly below 57k (17% discount to market!)
*upper barrier at 75k

From yen rate hikes to mining farms shutting down, why is bitcoin still falling?
The recent decline in bitcoin prices is primarily driven by expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, uncertainty regarding the US Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory, and systemic de-risking by market participants. Japan's potential rate hike may trigger the unwinding of global arbitrage trades, leading to a sell-off in risk assets. At the same time, increased uncertainty over US rate cuts has intensified market volatility. In addition, selling by long-term holders, miners, and market makers has further amplified the price drop.
