Term Structure Analysis involves the examination of how yields or implied volatilities of financial instruments vary across different maturities or expiration dates. This analysis reveals market expectations regarding future interest rates or asset price volatility over time.
Mechanism
This analytical process constructs a curve or surface by plotting yields of fixed-income securities or implied volatilities of options against their respective times to maturity. The shape and slope of this term structure—whether upward-sloping, downward-sloping, or flat—provide insights into prevailing market sentiment and anticipated economic conditions.
Methodology
The strategic application in crypto markets includes forecasting future interest rate movements, assessing market participants’ collective view on future volatility, and informing pricing models for derivatives. This methodology supports advanced trading strategies, hedging decisions, and risk management across various time horizons for digital asset investments and their associated options.
