Stock options can most definitely influence the stock market sentiment. One example of this is any particularly large or unusual options purchases. Check out Unusual Whales and Cheddar Flow on Twitter to see this in action. Many people base their whole strategy around following these flows of options trades, with the assumption that if someone is willing to put such large sums of money behind their ideas (usually in the millions of dollars per option), then they must know something worth knowing.


Another example of stock options influencing the stock market sentiment is the Net Options Pricing Effect (or NOPE for short), which essentially measures the difference in calls and puts purchased. This can be used to see how options sentiment effects the market as a whole, and can be successfully used to trade volatility in the market. Check it out at

Many argue that cryptocurrencies are the future of finance and investment. Digital currencies have many advantages over traditional fiat money, such as lower fees, transparency and speed of transactions, and I especially like this last point. Therefore, to understand the benefits of investing in cryptocurrencies, you need to be aware of the latest news about cryptocurrencies and their use, I learn a lot by reading invest talk . I try to read the most relevant krypton news and draw conclusions. What do you say, forum users? Do you think in a month or two the situation can change in the field of investing in cryptocurrency?
