Market Moves by Omkar Godbole Bitcoin climbed back above $60,000 early Thursday, as ether, the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum's blockchain, jumped over 6% to $4,170, erasing Wednesday's price drop.
The market focus seems to be shifting to ETH 2.0 – Ethereum's impending transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake mechanism – and the possibility of an ether exchange-traded fund debut (ETF) in the wake of the recent launch of bitcoin futures ETFs in the U.S.
That's evident from the spike in the spread between the six-month implied volatility (IV) for ether (ETH) and bitcoin (BTC). It's a measure of expected price turbulence in ether relative to bitcoin, and it has risen to 25%, the highest since June 13.
Historically, the spread has proven to be a reliable indicator of upcoming shifts in market leadership. A rising spread indicates ether may lead the broader market in the coming weeks. Bond Traders Price In Aggressive Rate Hikes  U.S. two-year yield (Source: TradingView) Ether's options market is biased bullish, with traders piling into deep out-of-the-money calls or bullish bets, specifically the one at $15,000 strike expiring in March 2020.
According to Raoul Pal, CEO and co-founder of financial media group Real Vision, ether looks to be mimicking bitcoin's 2017 price trajectory and could see a meteoric rise in coming weeks. Bitcoin rose from $1,000 to nearly $20,000 in 2017, with the majority of the rally happening in the final quarter.
However, it may not be a smooth ride if traditional markets become risk-averse in response to the rising probability of faster interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
Technician's Take by Omkar Godbole  Bitcoin's Head & Shoulders (H&S) Breakdown While bitcoin's bounce to $61,000 has invalidated the bearish head-and-shoulders (H&S) breakdown witnessed Wednesday, the cryptocurrency is not out of the woods yet.  Bitcoin's 4-hour price chart (Source: TradingView)
