On the evening of November 5th at 8 PM, on the official YouTube channel of Matrixport, Daniel, the head of asset management at Matrixport, analyzed the market fluctuations from the previous week (October 30th - November 4th). The price of BTC experienced significant volatility during the election week, influenced by the uncertainty of the U.S. elections and the rising risk aversion in global markets. Daniel discussed the driving factors behind BTC's volatility, changes in hedging demand in the options market, and the support provided by the continuous inflow of institutional funds into the market, highlighting potential opportunities and strategies for investors in this volatile market.
The live content is as follows
Recently, the price of BTC has been significantly influenced by macro uncertainties such as elections, leading to increased volatility. BTC once surged to a high of $73,000, only to quickly retreat due to market expectation adjustments. Both bulls and bears are engaged in intense battles, with rising hedging demand in the options market indicating that investors are highly sensitive to short-term fluctuations. Overall, BTC's market share continues to steadily increase, demonstrating its relative strength in a high-volatility market.
Analysis of Market Volatility Reasons
The Impact of Elections on the BTC Market
During the U.S. presidential election, the market's focus on the election results led to increased volatility in global capital markets, with the cryptocurrency market showing particularly pronounced fluctuations. As a safe-haven asset, BTC typically exhibits high sensitivity during major events. The uncertainty surrounding the election results has triggered traders' expectations for significant price fluctuations in BTC, adding short-term volatility risk to the market.
Strengthening of Market Risk Aversion
On the eve of the election, data from CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) BTC options indicated a significant increase in the market's hedging demand against a decline in BTC prices. The market's aversion to short-term risks reflects concerns about a potential correction in BTC, with volatility expectations in the options market further climbing. Market sentiment reminds investors to manage risks in advance to guard against short-term shocks from the election results.
Current Context of the Options Market and Institutional Behavior
Hedging Signals from the CME Options Market
As the election week approaches, demand in the CME BTC options market has increased, with traders ramping up hedging demands to prevent price fluctuations triggered by the election results. The volatility in this market reflects traders' concerns about a short-term decline in BTC.
Institutional Investors' Focus on BTC
Recently, several institutions, including UK pension funds, have announced the inclusion of BTC in their asset portfolios, marking an elevation of BTC's status in traditional finance. The inflow of institutional funds not only strengthens the long-term support for the BTC market but also reduces short-term volatility caused by retail investors. VanEck's model predicts that BTC may be included in central bank reserve assets in the future, further solidifying its position as a safe-haven asset.
Investment Directions to Watch
Long-term Holding Strategy for BTC
BTC is regarded as "digital gold," and in an uncertain macro environment, its anti-inflation and safe-haven properties make it an ideal store of value. Long-term holding of BTC can help investors achieve steady appreciation in the face of market volatility, especially during the election week when it may be prudent to stay on the sidelines to control risk. For investors looking to preserve value in the crypto market, long-term holding of BTC offers excellent return protection.
Risk Aversion and Market Observation Strategy
Due to the short-term uncertainties brought about by the election, investors may choose to stay on the sidelines to reduce exposure to risks from market volatility. Re-entering the market once the environment becomes clearer can help avoid short-term volatility risks, providing investors with stable long-term returns. This strategy is suitable for investors looking to preserve value over the long term, as it avoids short-term risks by remaining observant during periods of volatility.
Conclusion
In the current context of heightened market volatility, the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. elections has significantly increased the demand for safe-haven assets, with BTC receiving considerable attention due to its safe-haven attributes. At the same time, the CME options market shows strong hedging demand, reflecting a cautious attitude towards short-term market fluctuations. The continued participation of institutional investors further strengthens BTC's market position and long-term support.
