Paradigm Session Recap September 30
The PCE print was cooler than expected due to a methodological change. The market reacted well initially following a quick short squeeze, but gave it all back within a few, with BTC and ETH closing slightly in the red on the day.
BTC and ETH are sitting at the 1-percentile 7d realized volatility (9.5% and 4.4%, respectively). While Parkinson (high-low) volatility is also low, but well above the close-to-close metric. In fact, the Parkinson/C2C ratio is above the 99th percentile for both assets, at 2.66 for BTC and 6.68 for ETH.
When volatility compresses to historical extremes like this, paired with an extreme Parkinson/C2C ratio, it typically resolves with strong moves in either direction.

Paradigm Session Recap September 28
Today was the 8th session out of the last 10 where Paradigm traders were net short delta on BTC, compared to 5 out of 10 for ETH. Meanwhile, ETH continues to show strength against BTC since its local bottom in June.
The market is showing weakness heading into the end of Q3 as long-end yields remain elevated and oil stays above $100.
ptions positioning remains skewed toward calls on a historical basis, but BTC 10-delta and 25-delta skews are now positive across all tenors. ETH 25-delta skew remains negative across most tenors, except for the 1D and 1W.
