Week 50-2018: AIVIX rising to even higher levels
New chart and a short update
Chart of the week
This week our update will be rather short with a quick look at the chart of the week:
As the bear rally continues the volatility goes up even further. Now for BTC and ETH the AIVIX is relatively in line with historic volatility of the last 30 days.
A big outlier is the AIVIX-REP which gaped down quite a bit at the end of this week. For one the REP token actually had a more stable price this week compared to ETH and BTC, also there have been movements in the underlying Augur markets at this time, that caused this huge jump.
Basically there are now no long positions open in the listed REP markets on Augur anymore, which makes it difficult to determine the actual price of the market.
This also shows two current flaws Augur currently has, lack of liquidity and lack of markets. All the REP derivatives still have a super bullish strike (for example 40$ for the one on the screenshot) from half a year ago perspective, which does not fit in the current bear market.
Soon finally live charts
By the way: We are working on publishing the AIVIX chart above on the main page in real time soon. :)
