QCP Capital Market Update– 27 Mar 24
– Early numbers are showing positive BTC spot ETF inflows with Fidelity posting strong numbers, giving BTC a nice lift over 70k level.
– The option market is structurally bullish BTC and fearful of ETH downside.
– We see consistent demand for BTC calls >100k out to Dec and large buyers of ETH puts around 2800 for Apr (up to about 20k ETH!).
– This has caused ETH risk reversals to go to -5% to the downside again which was the early signal for the previous dip.
Trade Ideas:
– Spot-Forward Basis remains the lowest hanging fruit given the directional uncertainty.
– It is especially attractive back at these elevated levels >20% for a zero-downside trade.
