April 5, 2026 - April 7, 2026, the price of ↑165 dropped from 73.5c to 64.5c, and ↓110 spiked to 20.95c on April 5, returning to 20.9c on April 7. This reflects short-term expectation adjustments in a high-volatility environment and erratic prints in deep OTM options due to illiquidity.
March 20, 2026 - March 22, 2026, major option prices remained relatively stable without fluctuations exceeding 10c. The market entered a consolidation phase following the Fed (Mar 18) and BoJ (Mar 19) decisions, awaiting a breakout of the 160 level.
March 1, 2026 - March 6, 2026, the price of option ↓120 spiked from 9.5c to 46c before settling at 41.5c, while the ↓130 option remained flat at 10.5c. Reason: Market microstructure anomaly, likely due to a liquidity hole or malfunctioning algorithmic bot causing the deep OTM option to decouple.
