According to BlockBeats and Greeks.live, a large batch of crypto options is expiring today.
41,000 $BTC options will expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.78. The max pain price is $114,000, and the total value is about $4.93 billion.
240,000 $ETH options are also expiring, with a Put/Call Ratio of 1.0. The max pain point is $2,950, and the total value is around $880 million.
These expiries could lead to increased market volatility.
Will This Options Expiry Pump the Market? 🤔
Not guaranteed, but here’s what to watch:
✅ Max pain zones ($114K for BTC, $2,950 for ETH) often act as magnets — prices tend to move closer to these levels before expiry.
✅ If market price stays above max pain, call buyers gain — can trigger bullish momentum.
✅ Neutral to bullish Put/Call Ratios (BTC: 0.78, ETH: 1.0) show balanced sentiment, not overly bearish.
✅ Rising open interest + low volatility = potential for post-expiry breakout.
📌 If BTC and ETH hold strong after expiry, we could see a short-term relief rally or breakout — especially with less options pressure next week
