As the price of the currency rises, the volatility curve has steepened again. Specifically, the release of PPI data has eliminated some uncertainties. The IV of the middle and front ends (especially ETH) has dropped significantly, but the IV of Doomsday still enjoys a higher Vol Premium due to tonight's CPI data. The far-end IV has risen slightly, and some Top Side buying can be seen from the transaction. From the Vol Skew, ETH's RR has continued to rise overall. The day before yesterday (Aug. 12), Grayscale's ETHE ended the outflow of funds for the first time, becoming an important turning point. The overall ETF has also received positive inflows for two consecutive days, providing support and confidence for the price of ETH, allowing it to break through the two lines of defense of 2600 and 2700 in succession, and challenge 3000 again.
