Not much to update today except $ETH 12H and 1D BBs are still compressing

$ETH 2H BB in an extreme squeeze. Should see some volatility in the next 24 hours

$ETH 1D / 2D candles print in 1h 45m

$ETH bull flag still in play

$BTC 1D BB is back into an extreme squeeze and is nearing early Jan 2026 compression levels 12H BB is right on the extreme squeeze threshold (value: 10) so it’s flip flopping between low and extreme atm

This is the most the $ETH 1D BB has been compressed since June 2024… So, it’s even more compressed than the June-July 2025 2k range before the massive pump to high 3k area Yellow dotted line in bottom indicator shows current BB width level

$ETH optionality is getting very cheap now But it’s important to remember that cheap optionality ≠ guaranteed profitable longs. A lot of traders blow themselves up buying “ cheap options too early while: - theta bleeds them - IV keeps compressing - and spot keeps chopping

$ETH / $BTC DVOL update: ETH - DVOL = 54.74 - IV Rank = 4.7 - IV Percentile = 2.5 BTC - DVOL = 38.52 - IV Rank = 9.8 - IV Percentile = 21 ETH IV percentile at 2.5 is very compressed. That means over the last year, ETH IV has only been lower than current levels about 2.5% of

Yep, there we go

$ETH 1H and 2H BBs compressing so we might see some volatility soon

$ETH’s been ranging for so long that now the 5-day timeframe is visually squeezing too It hasn’t been this compressed since Oct 2025

$ETH potential bull flag

$ETH volatility is getting absolutely crushed relative to its own history right now, even more than $BTC ETH - DVOL = 56 - IV Rank = 7.5 - IV Percentile = 3.6 BTC - DVOL = 39 - IV Rank = 11.1 - IV Percentile = 26.5 The notable thing is the div between ETH’s IV Rank and IV

$ETH $BTC So, we have a multi timeframe extreme BB squeeze across both high and low timeframes And implied volatility (IV) down to levels not seen since the Jan 2026 dump. FYI the two line plot indicators below the chart are ETH DVOL and BTC DVOL Other than the lower timeframe

$BTC $ETH 1D / 2D / 3D / 4D / 5D / 6D / 30D / 1M candles will print in 1.5 hours

$BTC $ETH 1D / 2D / 3D / 4D / 1M candles will print in 18 hours

48k~ net taker $ETH spot sells in the last 12 hours from $2,340

This is getting ridiculous at this point $ETH

36k~ net taker $ETH spot buys over the last 12 hours. Perhaps a buy the rumour type situation with FOMC tomorrow

For months $ETH spot order books usually flip green (bid/buy delta) after a dump and flip red after a pump, but this time they’ve stayed red (ask/sell delta) after the retrace. Why now?
