🚨 HERE'S THE REAL REASON BITCOIN IS TRAPPED IN ONE RANGE
If you are wondering why $BTC keeps trading around $85K to $90K no matter how many people try to push it
I have the answer for you.
And it likely resolves in under a week, into the January 30 options expiry.
Here is what is actually going on
Bitcoin is sitting right on a critical options flip level around $88K
ABOVE THAT LEVEL
Market makers are forced to sell into green candles and buy the dip. Any rally gets capped and price gets pulled back to the middle.
BELOW THAT LEVEL
The behavior changes completely. Selling pressure feeds on itself, and volatility grows instead of getting absorbed.
That is why price keeps snapping back to the same area over and over again. It is not because of traders.
Now look at why $90K keeps rejecting.
There's a massive concentration of call options at $90,000. Dealers are short those calls.
Every time price pushes toward that level, they hedge by selling spot BTC.
So what looks like “sell pressure” is really forced supply showing up exactly where traders expect momentum.
That's why every $90K attempt fails.
On the downside, $85K is doing the opposite.
There's heavy put positioning there. As price drops, dealers hedge by buying spot.
That's why every dip gets bought fast.
This creates a tight range that feels completely normal on the surface, but it is not stable at all.
The reason this matters now is timing.
A big chunk of option exposure expires on January 30, 2026, the last Friday of the month.
Once we get past January 30, that pinning pressure will be gone.
Not because people suddenly change their minds, but because the forces holding price in place are gone.
