đš $15.9B IN BITCOIN OPTIONS SET TO EXPIRE FRIDAY.
âą Around 184,000 $BTC options are scheduled to expire on Deribit at 8:00 AM UTC, carrying roughly $15.90B in notional value. The current put/call ratio stands at 0.69.
âą Calls account for approximately $9.56B in open interest versus $6.35B for puts, while the estimated max-pain price is $75,000.
âą Max pain does not predict Bitcoinâs expiry price, and the large open interest does not establish a directional outcome. Deribit calculates the final settlement using a 30-minute TWAP from 7:30 to 8:00 AM UTC.
âą With nearly $16B in contracts expiring, $BTC could see increased volatility around Fridayâs settlement window as traders roll, close or adjust positions.
