Both once the CBOE future expired and from now on, once the CME bitcoin future is originating settlement, there was clearly an amazing reduction in the bitcoin price. Both futures has a serious low volume and i also would guess that they may be covered with one liquidity provider\/market maker. Forex trading maker is most probably short the near future and perchance long the spot. At expiry, they’ll profit if the costs are low this will let you border after settlement when the cost rebounds. Sadly both CME and CBOE has chosen a really bad settlement processes that are an easy task to manipulate. For CBOE it is the auction price for Gemini – a tender which has a very small volume most of the time.
CME’s model is much better, but nevertheless not very good, VWAP around the four major exchanges may be beneficial, but when that VWAP is calculated on just one minute of trading it’s meaningless. With few large participants, the volume on a real brief span of time is very limited. Regardless if many large participants could have interests in a of those settlement processes they’d probably have the identical position and advantages of exactly the same side from the market manipulation. The VWAP have to have been calculated over many hours instead). Concluding is always that we likely will see a lots of strange market activity around each future expiration and expect a rebound after 3 pm Central time today!.
