The crypto market looks pretty bloody for the most important coins out there as they’re trading in the red.
At the moment of writing this article, ETH is also trading in the red, and the coin is priced at $394.48.
ETH about to hit $400 soon
ETH’s price has stalled below $400, but ETH options data suggests the altcoin will be pushing through the resistance level soon, reveals Cointelegraph.
It’s been revealed that Ethereum (ETH) options open interest increased by 5 fold over the past three months and reached $337 million.
This figure definitely pales when compared to the current $1.8 billion Bitcoin (BTC) options market, but it’s important to note the fact that Ether options have grown to reach the same size the BTC options market was roughly 15 months ago.
The online publication mentioned above notes that “Options are divided into two basic instruments: calls, aimed mostly for bullish strategies, and puts, used chiefly on bearish trades.”
They also note the fact that another widely used indicator is the “comparison of open interest above and below current market levels.”
“To reduce the impact of the $400 expiry concentration, one should analyze open interest 6% below the current $390 Ether price and 6% above, thereby excluding such levels,” Cointelegraph notes.
