According to ChainCatcher, Greeks.live macro researcher Adam released this week’s major events on the X platform.

After a week of adjustment, the market has come out of the blow of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike. The Bank of Japan's recent dovish remarks have also given the market confidence. Despite the constant negative news in the market, the market sentiment this week is relatively optimistic. This week's macroeconomic focus has returned to the US economic data. The probability of a rate hike in September continues to rise, which has also given the market some confidence. If this week's data gives the market confidence in a rate hike, the rebound will continue.

After a week of panic, market confidence has recovered to a large extent, so the IV of major maturities has fallen compared with last week. Currently, IV is at a relatively high level, and there is still obvious downward pressure this week. The cryptocurrency market still maintains the wide range of fluctuations since March, among which ETH is relatively sluggish and the exchange rate has fallen sharply.
