PROPRIETARY “GVOL-DIRECTION” FLOWS - @Gravity5ucks
The bitcoin market continues to have the favor of traders, with another good week of volumes.
Ethereum post-merge 2022 is steadily declining and is now stable at about half of Bitcoin.
The gamma week incentivized participants to take multiple positions, often ahead of price action.
The first relevant trade was the buy of a put spread financed by calls at zero cost:

Later in the week with the spot at around 28k and with exceptional timing the purchase of risk-reversal (puts bought) -$30k+$26k went quickly in profit:
In vega terms instead, the fullest trade of the week was the sale of a DEC $28k straddle:
With the loss of $27k support, on-screen the flow was focused on selling calls in the $28k-$30k strike range on September.
As well as long puts positions $23k October-November-December.
