In The Money (ITM)

By Luca Moschini
When a call option is said to be in the money (ITM), it means that it has inherent value. An option that is in the money is one that offers a chance to profit since the strike price and the current market price of the underlying asset are in close proximity to one another. A call option that is in the money allows the holder to purchase the securities for less than its current market value. If a put option is in-the-money, it allows the holder to sell the security for a higher price than it is currently trading for. Bear in mind that a trader may not always make money by exercising an option even if it is in the money because of the costs (such commissions) associated with options.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds: Two Unusual Activities That Could Result in a Big Move

By Luca Moschini
Today we take a look at the technicals for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The crypto market has been quiet for several months.   On Friday we detected unusual dark pool activities (large block orders) in the Bitcoin Trust Fund and Ethereum Trust Fund, GBTC and ETHE respectively. When smart money know something, they place large orders in the dark pool exchanges, away from the public eye. By doing so, they are positioning themselves ahead of the crowds, in order to benefit from move that will follow, once the news or report is made public. However, dark pool activities   do not   tell us the direction of the next move. It only tell us that a large order(s) has been placed. Only a breakout (bullish) about a resistance level, or a breakdown (bearish) below a support level can confirm the direction of the next move. So, what can we expect next?
