Full analysis
Bitcoin remains in a tight trading range, reflected in the KXBTCD markets where the $67K strike (T62) has 67¢ probability (vol 53,089) and $73K (T61) at 73¢ (vol 42,748). The month-end trimmed mean above $70K is only 25¢ (KXBTCMAXMON-BTC-26AU, vol 35,829) and above $65K is 80¢ (vol 30,245), suggesting the market sees a high probability of BTC staying above $65K but struggling to break $70K. Ethereum is more bullish: the ETHMAXMON contract above $2000 is at 59¢ (vol 12,869) and above $2500 is only 3¢ (vol 3,507), indicating the main resistance is around $2,500. XRP and Solana also have active range markets but with lower volume. The lack of a clear breakout keeps BTC volatility low relative to oil. Traders should watch for any Fed pivot or spot ETF flow data. Key contracts: KXBTCD-26AUG0717-T62 (67K), KXBTCMAXMON-BTC-26AU (above $70K, 25¢), KXETHMAXMON-ETH-26AU (above $2K, 59¢). Suggested action: monitor ETHMAXMON for a potential move to 70¢+ if spot ETH holds above $1,900.
