This week's market is mainly adjusted. Unlike last week, Bitcoin has a smaller adjustment this week, while altcoins have a stronger adjustment. As Christmas and annual delivery are approaching, market makers have begun to adjust their positions. Recently, large call option transactions account for a high proportion, with an average daily share of more than 30%. In previous years, the trading enthusiasm in Europe and the United States has dropped significantly during Christmas. This year, the influence of US stocks on encryption has increased, and this phenomenon may be more obvious.

Options are very suitable for short-term speculation at this point in time. The main transactions this week are also short-term PVP, and the cost-effectiveness of buying options is still very high.
