The market has protected ETH positions since last week’s tepid job report

ETH’s short-term implied volatility continues to trade at nearly twice the premium of BTC options with similar maturities, reflecting traders’ greater willingness to elevate front-end volatility during sharp market moves. After the US NFP report, ETH’s short-tenor volatility spiked to 73%, surpassing the 60-day IV at 67% and marking a swift term structure inversion. As last week’s rally faded, and ETH fell 4% over seven days, implied volatility declined. Notably, the spot pullback triggered a pronounced skew toward puts, driven by active downside hedging rather than reduced demand for bullish call options.
