FAQs
(D) Options Price Chart
An options price chart in the context of crypto is a graphical representation that shows the prices of various options contracts for a specific cryptocurrency over time. These charts help traders assess potential strategies, such as buying or selling options, by visualising how prices change and identifying trends or patterns in the market. They are essential tools for options traders looking to make informed decisions. This chart includes several key features:
1. Strike Prices
The predetermined prices at which the underlying asset can be bought (call options) or sold (put options).
2. Volume and Open Interest
Indicators of how actively the options are being traded and how many contracts are currently open.
3. Timeframes
The numbers showing time on top of a price chart typically represent the time intervals for the data displayed in the chart. The numbers often correspond to specific time intervals, such as minutes, hours, days, or weeks. For example, a number like "1D" might indicate that each candlestick or bar on the chart represents one day of trading data.
