18B in $BTC options expiring while max pain sits $10K below the current price… yeah, expect some chaos. That doesn’t mean Bitcoin has to dump straight to max pain. We’ve seen BTC completely ignore it before. What matters is how price reacts if they try to push it lower. If sellers hit hard and Bitcoin keeps holding support, that tells me buyers are still in control. Expect volatility, fakeouts and probably a lot of overleveraged traders getting wiped on both sides. Expiry can create short-term noise, but I’m not changing my bigger view because of one options event. Sometimes the market shakes everyone out first… then makes the real move.
