Comprehensive analysis of bitcoin price <bearish>
The daily price of Bitcoin (see Figure 5-1), which did not have many investors buying despite successive good news, seems to have turned downward due to the impact of the US FOMC’s early interest rate hike remarks the day before. Technically, it started between the 5-day and 10-day moving averages and then rebounded to the 5-day moving average as a low-priced buying trend came in. However, further rises seem difficult, as can be seen from the indicator at the bottom of the chart, miners are continuing to sell. .
In addition, the US dollar index and the US 10-year Treasury bond yield (refer to Figure 5-2), which surged when the interest rate hike was announced yesterday, are still at their highs, so the selling trend is expected to strengthen over time.

However, since the price has already been reached, the expiration price may vary more than expected because the entities holding the position have sufficient time to change their positions. This is because it is reasonable to use the mobilized funds to pursue the maximum profit within a set time. If you look at the option premium situation as of 14:00, all put options below equal strike price in Bitcoin are turning bullish, and in Ethereum, put options are already strong overall and the market is expected to decline by the closing time. It is time to manage returns by realizing early returns on stocks. (For details, see ‘Bitcoin options open interest weight analysis for the day’ on page 15)
