 <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>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="largest-inflows">Largest inflows</h2>
 <p>The report from Greeks Live runs contrary to sentiment expressed in the most recent&nbsp;CoinShares report, which stated that despite many altcoins seeing inflows in response to Bitcoin optimism, Ethereum was seeing the opposite response.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>With a reported $6 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> in outflows for the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, the report on call <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="block" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/block.html">block</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="volumes" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volumes.html">volumes</a> represents an interesting dichotomy.</p>
