What to know:
- Somewhere in the digital night, SOL, the currency of those who have not yet lost hope or their passwords, has leapt 85% in four weeks — from $95 to $176. For reference, that’s like a gulag inmate finding a second spoonful of soup. Miraculous, but one wonders at what cost.
- Block traders — possibly as desperate as men queuing for bread — are grabbing $200 call options expiring June 27. Courage, naiveté, or simply another bout of fever? 🤒
- Dealers, those eternal Panglossians of the market, now sit with “negative gamma exposure,” which I’m told is not contagious — only financially debilitating.
Behind closed doors and flickering terminals, SOL — the once humble token from Solana’s programmable blockchain — has mounted its own silent rebellion since April 7, surging faster than bitcoin, as if even Satoshi himself was but a plodding bureaucrat next to this wild-eyed youth. Options traders, never to be outdone in bravado (or tragedy), are piling in, whispering that greater gains await, if only the stormclouds hold for a few more weeks.
Could this be the moment the old world shakes? Or is it merely the feverish dream of men who stare too long at falling snow and rising charts? The token crept to $176, markets collectively holding their breath. Even bitcoin, market king and grizzled veteran, only managed 40%—one imagines a resentful glare as SOL sprints by, waving as though this will last forever.
Options traders, possessed as only gamblers can be, snapped up June 27 SOL $200 calls like prisoners scrambling for a rumor of bread. They believe (or, more likely, hope) that by the end of June, Solana will stand tall above $200, unbowed by whatever metaphysical KGB stalks its dreams.
“Last week,” intoned Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata—though he would’ve fit in well at a Soviet tractor factory—“they went long on the June $200 call. Fifty thousand contracts. $263,000 in premium. Was it optimism, or a final roll before the lights go out?” On Deribit, one contract means one SOL—simple math, if one trusts numbers anymore.
Calls give you a right, never an obligation—rather like a government promise. Bullish traders pay a premium, lit cigarette trembling in their lips, hoping for that lottery win before the midnight knock on the door.
The calls, snatched at an annualized implied volatility of 84%—yes, 84%, which means only that the market is as jittery as a Moscow teahouse after closing. One must applaud the timing: calls were cheap, but summer’s heat may bring a chill. The token’s volatility usually floats in the triples, so these traders got their lotto tickets before the machine jammed.
The aftermath: dealers and market makers, shuffling their papers and portfolios, now face “net negative gamma exposure.” It sounds terminal, but mostly means their hedging might make the wild ride wilder, selling the peaks and buying the pits, seeking the mythical “delta-neutral.” Even in Putin’s Russia, neutrality was hard to maintain. In crypto, it’s Pyrrhic either way.
So, expect volatility. Or quiet. Or perhaps both. As SOL eyes $200, everyone is bracing for either fireworks or another long winter. But such is life, comrade. The market does not care. 😏🚀
