If you are panic-selling every time derivatives data looks scary, stop now.
Most retail investors get chopped up and dump their bags right before major market rebounds because they misread open interest. They see massive numbers, expect an immediate crash, and end up selling at the exact local bottom.
This Friday brings a massive 18 billion dollar options expiry across major exchanges. Bearish traders are screaming that $BTC is bound to drop 10k to hit max pain levels. The sheer scale of expiring contracts makes people nervous, and when fear takes over, panic selling usually follows.
However, historical expiry events tell a completely different story. Max pain levels rarely trigger a straight plunge, especially with strong spot demand absorbing sell pressure while institutions hedge through $ETH contracts. The market has already absorbed most of this hedging volatility over the past two weeks, making a sharp post-settlement rebound far more likely than a collapse.
Do you think Friday triggers a real dump, or is the market setting up to squeeze the bears?
