More than $5 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire today, with Bitcoin’s Max Pain estimated at around $108,000 and Ethereum’s Max Pain near $3,800.
The term “Max Pain” refers to the price point at which the maximum number of options contracts will expire worthless, impacting traders’ strategies. For Bitcoin, the Max Pain level indicates a significant threshold that could influence market movements as the expiration approaches. Similarly, Ethereum’s Max Pain level suggests a critical price point that traders will monitor closely. The expiration of such a large volume of options may lead to increased volatility in the cryptocurrency markets. Traders often adjust their positions leading up to these expirations, which can result in price fluctuations.
