3.QCP Capital: The options market is laying out the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, and factors such as weak altcoins may suppress the upward momentum

On February 18, QCP Capital's latest analysis pointed out that the term structure of the options market was significantly distorted near the March expiration date, especially in Ethereum options, which may reflect the market's layout for the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, which is currently in the testing phase and is expected to be launched in early April. Looking back at past upgrades, the merged upgrade in September 2022 followed the typical "buy expectations and sell facts" model-ETH rose more than 100% from its June lows and then fell after the upgrade. In contrast, the Shanghai upgrade, which enabled the pledge withdrawal function in April 2023, was met with pessimism due to market concerns about oversupply. However, once the market found that the selling pressure did not appear as expected, ETH rose 30% in the following months. As expectations for the upgrade heat up, traders may be positioning for another volatility event, with option volatility after March 28 skewed towards call options - which may lay the foundation for the next positioning theme in the crypto market after the Trump tariff storm. One inhibitor is the general weakness in the altcoin market - LIBRA collapsed, SOL and ETH fell back to pre-election levels, and Bitcoin's market capitalization share is close to its all-time high. In addition to market catalysts, altcoins may need to make substantial progress in real-world applications and network development for a sustained recovery, rather than relying solely on speculative capital flows.
