Greeks.live: Market capital inflow slows down, but options trading volume and open interest continue to rise

ChainCatcher message, Greeks.live macro researcher Adam posted the March 15 options expiration data on the X platform:

30,000 BTC options expired, Put Call Ratio of 0.79, maximum pain point at $66,000, notional value of $2.1 billion.

330,000 ETH options expired, Put Call Ratio of 0.69, maximum pain point at $3,550, notional value of $1.25 billion.

This week, the crypto market remains strong, with Bitcoin's price briefly breaking $70,000. However, in the latter half of the week, Bitcoin ETF inflows slowed down, and the price began to enter a correction phase. The implied volatility for major maturities is showing a downward trend but remains at a relatively high level for the year. The U.S. capital is driving the spot bull market, and now that the inflows have slowed, the price is entering a consolidation phase, but options trading volume and open interest continue to rise.
