Previous report, watch levels and methodology

One-week surface context; the published headline retains its original evidence basis. Cutoffs 22 Sept, 19:20 UTC to 23 Sept, 19:20 UTC.

Measured change since prior report

Prior comparison unavailable: the exact adjacent published edition could not be verified.

A structured watchlist was not recorded or could not be verified in the prior edition; prior-watch outcomes remain unavailable.

Next daily cutoff: measurable checks

These checks are reconstructed from this edition’s stored endpoints; they were not recorded in the original report.

  • Hold the observed level: SOL 1W ATM IV ≤ 56.08 percent at . Current level 56.08; threshold is the current observed endpoint.
  • Full retrace: SOL 1W ATM IV ≥ 60.41 percent at . Current level 56.08; threshold is the previous observed endpoint.
Measurement basis and receipt

These are observed-level conditions for the next aligned cutoff, with no forecast or trade action. Spot uses exact index endpoints where available; ATM IV is quoted in percent and its change, RR25 and BF25 in volatility points. Derived from verified legacy artifact endpoints.

Chart notes

01 · Market read

The day across the three live Derivasys markets.

The one-week RR25 gap between Solana and Bitcoin widened to 5.44 volatility points, separating a call-rich Solana surface from a put-rich Bitcoin surface.

What is unusual today?

One-week ATM IV level dispersion: Compression: absolute level gap 21.95 vol points; absolute gap change -1.87 vol points. Historical percentile rank 76%. Stored one-week tenor comparison at this cutoff across 3 assets. 25 historical observations; minimum 20.

Daily one-week ATM IV-change dispersion: The cross-asset spread is 2.05 vol points. Historical percentile rank 28%. Stored daily changes across 3 assets. 25 historical observations; minimum 20.

SOL stands apart: 1W ATM IV change is 1.87 vol points below the group median. Stored cross-section of 3 assets at this report cutoff.

This is a comparison, not a pooled surface: each asset keeps its own forwards, expiries, SVI fit and realised-volatility history.

Cross-sectional thesis

Where the complex is diverging.

One-week ATM IV level dispersion is compressing, at 21.95 vol pts; daily one-week ATM IV changes span 2.05 vol pts across the complex.

Comparable implied-versus-realised values are not available for every constituent.

Aligned 24-hour spot correlations: BTC/ETH 0.88 (23 observations).

Historical cross-sectional readings: 1W ATM IV level dispersion percentile rank 76.0%; Daily 1W ATM IV-change dispersion percentile rank 28.0%; 1W RR25 dispersion percentile rank 96.0%.

Completed-session cross-asset context

Crypto volatility against VIX and SPX.

The benchmark comparison is separately timestamped to the latest completed US session; it does not replace the intraday crypto surface cutoffs above.

BTC and ETH and SOL 30-day implied volatility remained 2.6–4.0 times VIX, while short-window equity correlations remained mixed.

A derived publication with no duplicated market data.

The report is assembled at request time from the immutable BTC, ETH and SOL daily-report artifacts for the same UTC report date. It is omitted unless all three exist. Cross-asset averages are descriptive and equal-weighted; no attempt is made to combine distinct volatility surfaces into a single fit.
