The Yen rate hike hit the markets hard at the beginning of this week, and the softer stance showed by the Bank of Japan has brought sentiment back, with the crypto market rallying sharply, mainly led by BTC and SOL. 
On the other hand, ETH ETFs have been weaker since listing. 
Greeks.live also notes that major IVs are down, but they are still higher compared to how they were before the market crash, and considering the sharp volatility, it is hard for IVs to fall sharply for a short time.
