Skew markets, took to Twitter recently, stating: “There have been voices claiming that whether or not the halving is already priced in, we should expect some volatility in the spot price around the upcoming halving date as the market adjusts to the sharp decrease is the natural supply from miners.” Volatility  In order to nail down any kind of drastic change in an asset’s volatility, investors typically will consider looking into the asset’s implied ‘volatility term structure’ via the Options market. Despite this, while Bitcoin’s suggested volatility reflects changes in its price, the future of the asset isn’t given away in any way. As per AMB Crypto, this is an indicator that the leading cryptocurrency might have already halved in. Skew added: “The BTC options market tells us an interesting story: there is no kink in the implied volatility term structure for the relevant expiry (Jun20). This means the options market does NOT anticipate any increased volatility around that time!” It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out and where the halving will take Bitcoin.
