$ETH GEX+ update
Interpretation and how to read it ⬇️ Image
How to read the GEX+ ?

Delta > 0 (blue-green) → dealers tend to trade against price action to stay hedged
Delta < 0 (purple-red) → dealers tend to trade along with price action to stay hedged
Delta = 0 (transparent) → Deltas are hedged, a major shift in price action is coming

$ETH option dealers are currently hedged but some volatility could bring us down pretty quickly

They’ll also be tempering up moves

A tale of cryptocurrencies' expected volatility

A 🧵

$BTC March 13 2020 - Created PTSD to many traders.

Kingfisher wasn't public yet, algos were buying at 5200 and market kept collapsing.

Any leverage trade here was instant punishment, with 100M USD liquidation in the matching engine burning the orderbook fast, it was scary.
The main reason of this cascading liquidations was
- Bitmex Infra ME/Risk
- Hedge fund liquidation
- Long Convexity
- Degens Liqs
- Arbitrage traders liquidated

How to win ?

Over-Collateralization
Avoid Toxic Orderflow
Linear Contracts for Long

The last two days have been liq hunting heavens
Across the markets, we've observed liquidations being very accurately picked up.

Over 770 trades were taken by the KF-OEMS over dozens of instruments. There's always a liq cluster about to get cleared somewhere
Have a look at the survival probability of $BTC traders.
It shows that those high leverages clusters are fully getting cleared several times a day.
The KF-OEMS is getting ready for public launch, it's a matter of days, until then, it's available for all our premium subscribers, just drop us a message and we'll set you up
