As reported by MetaEra, on December 30 (UTC+8), macro researcher Adam from Greeks.live stated that the Federal Reserve will release its monetary policy meeting minutes at 3:00 AM the following day, detailing FOMC members' discussions on economic, inflation, and interest rate outlooks. Following the completion of annual options settlements last Friday, block trades remain high, linked to low retail activity during the Christmas to New Year period and the need to establish new positions post-settlement. The Put Block ratio has stayed elevated due to poor fourth-quarter performance, while IV has yet to rebound. Adam expects IV to rise after market participants return next week. Overall, market liquidity remains weak, sentiment is pessimistic, and opportunities are limited this week, with selling options to capture Theta being a more favorable strategy.

Summary
The Federal Reserve will publish its policy meeting minutes on December 31 (UTC+8), according to macro researcher Adam from Greeks.live. The document will cover FOMC discussions on inflation and rate outlooks. Block trades remain elevated after annual options settlements, with retail demand subdued during the holiday period. Poor Q4 results have kept the Put Block ratio high, while IV stays weak. Adam expects IV to rebound once traders return. Liquidity zones remain fragile, sentiment is bearish, and opportunities are scarce. A focus on risk-to-reward ratio is key this week, with selling options to capture Theta seen as a better play.
