BlockBeats News, July 21st, Greeks.live reported that Bitcoin has rebounded to $66,000, which is a positive sign. Not only did it hit a new high in nearly two months, but it also re-entered the consolidation range since the beginning of the year.

The implied volatility (IV) for various major expiries has remained relatively stable. The IV for all expiries has been below 40% this year, indicating that investors have gradually adapted to this market environment of extremely low volatility.

During the sharp drop in February this year, the implied volatility for various major expiries once rose to above 50%. However, for most of this year, the IV has remained below 45%. This may indicate that low volatility is gradually becoming the new norm in the cryptocurrency options market.

OPEC's monthly report shows that Saudi Arabia's average daily crude oil production in October rose to 10.56 million barrels, just several hundred thousand barrels lower than the pre-war level in February and slightly above its quoted limit under the OPEC framework. Iraq's daily output in October also reached approximately 4.9 million barrels, a new high since the outbreak of war. Meanwhile, after the UAE exited OPEC and began competing in the market independently, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia recently slashed their official December cargo prices for Asian buyers, intensifying the competitive landscape.
