QCP Capital Market Quick Take -19 Mar 24
– There is a sea of red this Asia morning with ETH breaking recent lows, touching 3,382.
– The fear that we’ve been highlighting in ETH is growing with front-end downside skew getting deeper down to -15%.
– In BTC, early spot ETF tracking shows a record outflow for GBTC of -$642.5m. We will be closely tracking the aggregate ETF flow numbers today. A nett negative would be a distinctly bearish signal.
Trade Ideas:
1. Bearish – Downside Enhanced Sharkfin
This works well because the yields on the forward curve are still unnaturally elevated (for now) allowing for a high 5-6% base plus returns from a large downside price move. And it is a principal protected dollar deployment (i.e. zero downside risk making it a 5-200% strategy).
2. Bullish – UFCC
This is similar to selling puts with significant protection for a yield of around 40% p.a.

Federal Reserve hawkish official Hammack stated that inflation has exceeded targets for nearly six consecutive years, and there are moderate signs of strengthening in the labor market. She advocates for “more frequent, smaller” rate hikes and warns that if inflation expectations become entrenched, it will significantly increase the Federal Reserve’s policy costs. She also strongly supports the Fed’s independence, directly linking it to the status of the US dollar. Currently, markets expect the Federal Reserve to raise rates once in December and again in March next year.
