The Daily Digits estimated that Bitcoin would move 2.5%, approximately $1,884, during a window encompassing the US Consumer Price Index release. October's Consumer Price Index was scheduled for release on November 10 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, or 13:30 UTC. The observations describe conditions before the release, rather than market developments afterward.
The Daily Digits reported forward implied volatility of 47.9% during the CPI window, compared with 38.9% after that window. The study provides neither precise expiry endpoints nor a timestamp for the quote. Those omissions prevent the estimate from serving as a current protection quote that others can reproduce.
The pre-release study reported 30-day realized volatility of 33.7 for Bitcoin. The study recorded Deribit's DVOL index at 40, producing a reported difference of 6.3 volatility points. Those figures represent the study's observations, not current quotes. The study does not explain how the realized-volatility measure was annualized, restricting the precision of comparisons with annualized DVOL. The comparison did not establish whether protective options were inexpensive.
Realized volatility measures price fluctuations that have already occurred. Deribit describes DVOL as an annualized, forward-looking measure for the coming 30 days. Deribit calculates DVOL using option prices for expiries before and after that horizon, with interpolation between the expiries. Realized volatility and implied volatility therefore refer to different periods. A volatile week can raise realized volatility toward implied volatility without establishing that the cash cost of protection has declined.
DVOL summarizes option pricing in one index value rather than providing the cash premium for a specific protective option. DVOL alone therefore cannot establish the cost of protecting a Bitcoin holding through CPI. The CPI-window estimate covers a different period from DVOL's constant 30-day horizon. Combining those measures would obscure the difference between pricing one release and pricing uncertainty across a month. Neither measure forecasts direction. Deribit's explanation accommodates substantial moves in either direction, and an implied move does not constrain the eventual outcome.
The study reported forced closures of bullish Bitcoin positions totaling 3,183 BTC, approximately $245 million, on November 5. The study reported another 2,450 BTC, approximately $181 million, of such liquidations on November 8. Those amounts cover Bitcoin long liquidations, not liquidations across the entire cryptocurrency market.
