When stocks plunge, institutions may not like to buy put options to short them

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ After a two-day plunge, the iv of COIN's January expiration options rose above 100%. The most active trading volume is in options expiring in the current week, because options become more expensive due to iv and are more suitable for sellers.It is worth noting that yesterday's call/put was still not low. Most call options are traded, and even buying call options is higher than selling call options. This situation may also be because the iv is too high and the put price is expensive, so institutions prefer to short sell call. However, around 4:00, some people bought puts expiring at 145 this week $COIN 20240105 145.0 PUT$The most trad

Why are institutions numb?

I mentioned last week that the China Concept etf has a large call option order. It is a pity that the institution chess is a step faster and bought the day before the game policy was introduced. Another low is the worst thing after the bottom.Because of various surprises in the stock rally has been repeatedly delayed, continued to hover at a low level.

Options Spy | Good news continues, institutions once again sold put options to buy the bottom BABA

The overall performance of US stocks in 2023 is strong, and the Dow Jones and S&P are expected to rise 13% and 24% respectively by the end of 2023, and the Nasdaq is expected to rise 44%. Traders are pricing in a more than 70 percent chance of a rate cut at the Fed's March meeting, according to CME's FedWatch tool. Expectations that the Fed could start cutting interest rates as early as March have pushed stocks to levels that some technical analysts say are overbought.U.S. stocks are at the peak of the so-called "Christmas run," a period that includes the last five trading days of the year and the first two trading days of the New Year. Based on data from the Stock Trader's Almanac going back to 1950, the S&P has risen an average of about 1.3 percent over that period.
