Crypto markets pause for breath ahead of the halving #11

In this weeks episode Imran and David discuss the pause in the crypto rally which has led to some key supports being breached and what macro forces may be driving it. The stronger dollar and China needing BTC to look less appealing to stop capital flight are factors that David dissects in more detail. Imran catches up with Greg Magadini from Amberdata to find out what he has his eye on in crypto vol space. They discuss the steep ETH skew term structure and whether the BTC halving “event” risk is overpriced in options. Overall, the macro picture is unchanged from David’s perspective and dips remain opportunities to buy although some caution in the near term may be warranted.
