This week the market continued to rebound, with Bitcoin strongly breaking through $78,000. The Web3 conference in Hong Kong was also filled with a joyful atmosphere of rising prices, and altcoin markets are warming up. This is a monthly expiration, with 25% of options set to expire. In terms of holding period, the distribution of open contracts in the options market shows 12% at the end of May and 24% at the end of June. From the main options data, Bitcoin's main term implied volatility (IV) has continued to decline this month, with most term IVs dropping by 1% to 2%, falling below 40%, while ETH's main term IV has decreased even more, currently around 60%.

Despite the price increase, the Skew has retreated, and the market does not exhibit FOMO sentiment. In the second quarter of this year, Bitcoin performed significantly better than in the first quarter in terms of both price and popularity. This month's continued rebound is a sign of capital inflow; if macro pressures bottom out by mid-year, then Bitcoin's bottom will also be confirmed.
