QCP Capital: Upcoming PPI and CPI data could present upside risks, bitcoin options market shows cautious sentiment
The latest analysis from QCP Capital points out that global markets are digesting the impact of the Federal Reserve's expected adjustment in interest rate cuts. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond has soared to its highest since late 2023 at 4.8%, and the market does not expect a rate cut until October at the earliest. Stock index futures opened down 1.5%, sending bitcoin below $90,000 at one point before recovering to above $95,000.
QCP Capital anticipates that there may be upside risks in the upcoming PPI and CPI data. The market is adjusting to the continued reality of a high interest rate environment, and some investors are even considering the possibility of interest rate hikes. The bitcoin options market shows cautious sentiment. Investors will roll the put option to below the $90,000 support level. Volatility and butterfly spreads remain high in recent months. The VIX index remains at 18.68, indicating that the market volatility in January may continue.
The report also pointed out that Trump may sign an executive order on his first day in office to address the issue of "debanking" and repeal controversial cryptocurrency accounting policies, which could provide a positive catalyst for the market.
