Today, nearly $5 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire: What to expect? The expiration of Bitcoin and Ethereum options this Friday concentrates a volume close to $5 billion, an event that could influence the immediate dynamics of the crypto market. This type of massive expiration usually attracts the attention of traders and investors, as it can generate sharp movements if prices move away from the comfort levels of open positions.

In a context of historically low volatility, the question is whether this expiration will be able to break the calm. Defensive strategies and volatility selling dominate the landscape, but the current distribution of contracts and technical references could change the script in a matter of hours.
