Bitcoin ($BTC) is on the verge of settling massive quarterly options, nearing $16 billion, amid an options book that clearly leans toward call contracts, which may pressure hedging flows among traders.
The market is preparing for the expiry of nearly $18 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ether ($ETH ) options on Friday, an event that could reshape market makers’ positions and fuel short-term volatility.
These quarterly settlements often precede sharp moves, because rebalancing portfolios after expiry can unexpectedly raise or lower buy and sell pressure.
With the order book favoring calls, traders are watching to see whether demand for call options is enough to push the price higher, or whether profit-taking will outpace gains after the settlement.
Follow $BTC و$ETH closely, as liquidity may change rapidly after expiry.
