Contango and Backwardation Deviation Strategy
Logical Explanation: When there is a "premium" between the quarterly contract (delivery) and the spot price. In a normal bull market, the premium should decrease as the expiration date approaches. If the premium suddenly widens abnormally or turns negative (discount), it is an excellent reversal signal.
* Detailed Operations:
* Monitoring Indicator: Check the price difference between the quarterly contract and the spot.
* Extreme Premiums:
* Extremely Bullish: Quarterly contract is more than 10% higher than the spot, indicating extreme market frenzy and a potential pullback.
* Extremely Bearish: Quarterly contract is cheaper than the spot (discount), indicating market panic is overdone and presenting a great buying opportunity.
* Entry: Take contrarian positions based on such deviations.
Case Analysis:
BTC crashes sharply, retail investors frantically open short positions, causing the quarterly contract to be $500 below the spot.
* Action: This is a serious "negative premium." At this point, opening long contracts is much safer than usual.
* Result: As market sentiment recovers, the negative premium disappears. Even if the spot price does not rise, the contract price will increase due to the return of the premium.
