๐จ Massive Crypto Options Expiry Today: $3.9B on the Line! ๐ฃ๐
Today marks a major turning point in the crypto derivatives worldโnearly $3.9โฏbillion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire! Thatโs ~$3.3โฏbillion in BTC (34K contracts) and $546โฏmillion in ETH (215K contracts) rolling off. โณ
๐ Quick rundown:
๐ BTCโs put/call ratio shows slight bearishness. Max Pain is near $106Kโclose to spot price.
๐ Major BTC open interest at $115Kโ$140K hints at bullish hopes despite caution.
๐ข ETHโs Max Pain is $2.6K, and itโs currently trading just above $2.5K, with a slightly bullish sentiment (put/call ratio: 0.68).
๐ฅ Why it matters:
Large expiries = volatility triggers. A drop below $100K (BTC) or $2.5K (ETH) could signal deeper corrections. But holding above these zones may keep markets stable. ๐
