Ethereum $1,960-$1,999 band at 6¢ offers 100K IY with 5-day crypto contagion
Y5 (Ethereum at $1,960-$1,999 on July 24) prices at 6¢ with 100,000% IY over 6 days. With IBIT up 3.9% and BTC showing strong momentum, ETH typically lags BTC by 24-48 hours in rally cycles. Y6 (Ripple $1.20-$1.2199) also at 6¢ shows the same setup across altcoins. The 6¢ price on a specific $39-wide ETH band is a precision bet, but the contagion lag from today's BTC move makes the July 24 expiry the right window to capture the altcoin catch-up.
Bitcoin's IBIT ETF gained 3.9% today and the monthly trimmed-mean above $67,500 sits at 49¢ (R4), exactly at the knife's edge of a regime shift from taker to neutral. The $65,000 trimmed-mean contract already prices 94¢, confirming current spot strength, but the $67,500 level is the critical threshold where the month-end contract flips. We play the $67,500 level long given momentum and the Ethereum contagion lag.
