Following the U.S. elections, traders are favoring leveraged long positions in perpetuals and futures contracts, according to a report by Bybit and Block Scholes. Traders believe that short-term market volatility has subsided, leading to a more stable environment. The period has also seen renewed interest in "directional bets" and robust trading volumes, indicating a willingness to capitalize on positive post-election movement and sustained market activity. The report suggests that Bitcoin continues to dominate futures and derivatives markets, while a significant capital rotation into Ethereum contracts has yet to occur. The report also notes that Bitcoin's volatility has decreased, aligning short-term and longer-term levels, while Ethereum's short-term volatility is lower than its long-term volatility. Despite low trading volumes, open interest has increased, indicating potential future volatility.
