This week's important US macroeconomic data include CPI, unemployment figures, and the PCE Price Index. However, the more market-impacting event is the tension in the Strait of Hormuz caused by the US and Israel military actions. The implied volatility of BTC and ETH has risen significantly, increasing market expectations of heightened volatility, indicating a rising demand for downside protection.

Crypto Finance News reports that according to Greeks.live on X, this Wednesday will see the release of U.S. February CPI data, Thursday will have unemployment figures, and Friday will release the January PCE Price Index — three important macroeconomic indicators. However, in terms of actual impact, the military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran and the resulting Strait of Hormuz disruptions are the real macro events affecting the market and global oil transportation. Since last week, implied volatility for major maturities has risen significantly, with BTC’s short-term IV reaching over 65% and ETH’s short-term IV exceeding 80%, both hitting recent highs. Market expectations for volatility this month are increasing, and in recent days, the skew has noticeably decreased, indicating that demand for downside protection is continuing to grow.
