Crypto Traders Brace for Volatility: Key Options Moves & Implied Earnings Shifts (Nov 10-14, 2025)
Market makers are pricing in fireworks this week as crypto options volatility hits fever pitch. With quarterly earnings season colliding with macro uncertainty, smart money is hedging aggressively.
Key Levels to Watch:
- Bitcoin $40k straddles see 80% implied volatility, highest since 2024's liquidity crisis
- ETH gamma traps set at $2,800 as DeFi protocols report mixed TVL growth
- Memecoin IVs spike 300%+ ahead of 'dog-themed' NFT mint (because fundamentals are overrated)
Traders loading up on strangles while institutions quietly accumulate OTM calls - someone knows something we don't. Or they're just pretending to, like that hedge fund analyst who's been wrong seven quarters straight.

Ahead of this week’s major earnings announcements, TipRanks has calculated the expected moves of these companies’ stocks. We use the at-the-money straddle of the options whose post-earnings expiration dates are closest to the earnings announcement date.
Note that options volatility tends to be high in the days leading up to an earnings announcement, due to uncertainty around the earnings. Investors don’t know whether the earnings will be positive or negative, so the price of options (aka the option premium) rises.
Furthermore, after the earnings announcement, because the uncertainty has been resolved, the price of options (the option premium) decreases substantially. This is known as the volatility crush.
