Bitcoin's main term IV fell below 40%, while ETH's main term IV decreased even more, with short-term IV dropping below 50% and medium to long-term falling below 60%. From the main options data, the Skew remained relatively stable, and the market's directional sentiment maintained a slight bearish bias.
