<p>Moreover, data from the same report goes on to suggest a significant closeout of previous sell positions and driving short-term implied volatility (IV) up by 3 percent, suggesting that the market expects greater price volatility in the short term, since more investors are now betting on rising prices.</p>

<p>With a reported $6 million in outflows for the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, the report on call block volumes represents an interesting dichotomy.</p>
