This week on Crypto Options Unplugged, Imran Lakha and David Brickell break down the latest macro developments following a softer-than-expected US CPI report and discuss why markets may have overestimated the chances of another Federal Reserve rate hike. They examine Kevin Warsh's evolving approach to monetary policy, what it means for inflation, and why the next Fed move is still more likely to be a rate cut than a hike. The conversation then shifts to crypto, where Bitcoin and Ethereum have begun outperforming as macro conditions improve. The pair explore whether Bitcoin is finally breaking out of its multi-month range, how options positioning and volatility are changing beneath the surface, and why skew and implied volatility suggest sentiment may be turning more constructive. They also discuss Ethereum's recent strength, Robinhood's new Layer 2 blockchain, the return of retail interest through meme coins, and whether renewed activity across the Ethereum ecosystem could mark the beginning of a broader altcoin recovery. The episode finishes with key technical levels to watch and what would be needed to confirm the next major leg higher for crypto markets.
