ETH options implied volatility surges, hinting at market storm, BTC hits 61K high

Lin Chen, business development manager for Asia at cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit, said, "Ethereum options implied volatility (IV) has risen to 81.8. Option premiums have become very expensive. This suggests that a storm is brewing in the market." Meanwhile, Bitcoin is battling at the so-called strong resistance level of $61K. Before its last peak, it traded sideways in this area for about four days before hitting its ATH.
