Greeks.live notes that the crypto markets have been weaker this week, as the volume continued to fall.
According to them, the outflow dynamics from the US Bitcoin ETFs eased, but checking out the Block trade and market trading structure, the weakness in the price has led to a continued weakening of confidence in the market.
The IV reportedly continues to fall across all major terms, with current IV levels already slightly below the mean water mark, which is supportive. There is also little room to continue to fall at this point in time, the notes read.
Empirically, May has not been a good month for the market, and it is good value for money to buy some monthly puts right now, Greeks.live concludes.

Bitcoin is trading close to the $63k mark
At the moment of writing this article, Bitcoin trades close to the important mark of $63k. The coin is up by almost 3% in the past 24 hours on CoinMarketCap.
Despite the fact that Bitcoin ETFs have recorded over $11 million in total net outflows the other day, Bitcoin received a dose of optimism from a couple of factors this week.
For starters, the former president of the US, Donald Trump, and the Federal Reserve could unleash $4 trillion in Bitcoin, sending BTC to $200k by 2025.
Also, a potential decision coming from the European Union securities watchdog could have a massive impact on Bitcoin and the crypto industry in general.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has just asked stakeholders whether it should add crypto into investment products. This could enable digital assets to flow into a market that’s bigger than Bitcoin ETFs in the US – over 12 trillion Euros.
