Crypto market structures (educational)

Not investment, tax, or legal advice. Verify products in prospectuses and local rules.

Max pain (options, descriptive)

Max pain (retail framing): spot level where open-interest weighting maximizes option holders’ collective losses (many contracts OTM). Computed from OI by strike for an expiry.

Interpretation: structural description, not a price oracle. Competes with macro, liquidations, news. Use with IV, skew, funding.

Covered-call / “premium income” ETFs (conceptual)

Some funds hold spot crypto exposure via ETPs and write calls for premium:

  • Income mainly from options premium
  • Often caps upside in strong rallies
  • Not the same as spot-only exposure—read prospectus

Crypto arbitrage (concepts + risks)

Profit from temporary price gaps across venues/instruments, net of fees.

Type Idea
Cross-venue Speed, liquidity, withdrawal rails matter
Funding / basis Spot vs perp; liquidation complexity
Flash loans Atomic borrow/repay; smart-contract skill; also used in exploits
P2P / geographic Local premia; counterparty and legal risk

Risks: fees, gas, slippage, latency, ToS, bots, custody, contract bugs. Compliance varies by jurisdiction.

Bull / bear flags (TA primer)

Continuation narrative: impulse (pole) → consolidation (flag) → breakout in trend direction if it completes; failure = break the wrong way.

Pennant: converging lines vs parallel flag lines.

Subjective; combine with volume, levels, macro, on-chain—outcomes not guaranteed.
