PANews January 26 News, Greeks.live macro researcher Adam analyzed that on January 29th, this Thursday at 3:00 AM, the Federal Reserve will announce a new interest rate decision. Additionally, recent international geopolitical uncertainties and the continuous decline of Bitcoin have multifaceted impacts, leading to a significant increase in implied volatility of short- and medium-term options. BTC short-term implied volatility exceeds 45%, ETH short-term implied volatility reaches 63%, and SOL short-term implied volatility also exceeds 60%, with a period limit rising over 10% compared to the same period last week.
However, the market almost unanimously believes that there will be no rate cut in the upcoming decision, and the likelihood of maintaining the current stance until the end of the month is high. Over a quarter of options positions will expire in January, making it very likely that implied volatility will decrease at that time. Overall, now is a good opportunity to sell short-term options, and even double-selling is a good choice.
