The $BTC price has been stuck in a tight range between $85,000 and $90,000 for weeks — leaving many traders frustrated and uncertain about what’s next. On the surface, it looks like the market just can’t decide which way to go.
But according to crypto analyst NoLimit (@NoLimitGains), this price stagnation isn’t about buyers or sellers losing interest. Instead, it’s a mechanical market effect caused by options-driven gamma exposure — a key factor that keeps BTC bouncing between these levels.
Why Gamma Keeps BTC Trapped in This Range
The largest concentration of put options sits right near the $85,000 level — the point of maximum gamma exposure. When Bitcoin’s price nears this zone, market makers hedge by buying spot BTC, creating automatic buying pressure that absorbs sell orders and prevents sharp drops.
Similarly, heavy call option exposure near $90,000 triggers automatic selling as the price approaches that level, capping any strong rallies.
This tug-of-war between forced buying and selling keeps Bitcoin trapped in this range — no matter the news or short-term hype.
December 26: The Gamma Expiry That Could Change Everything
This delicate balance is about to shift. On December 26, 2025, a massive options expiry worth around $23 billion is scheduled — set to remove nearly half of the total gamma currently controlling Bitcoin’s price dynamics.
When this happens, the artificial forces keeping BTC pinned between $85k-$90k will fade. No more automatic buying below or forced selling above. The price will finally be free to move based on real market demand and supply.
“This is a turning point,” NoLimit says. Once gamma pressure disappears, Bitcoin could break out of its range and enter a new phase of volatility and momentum.
What Comes Next? Key Factors for BTC’s Direction
Bitcoin’s next move largely depends on where the price is trading when these hedging flows drop off:
If BTC is near the lower range, downside momentum could accelerate with no artificial support.
If BTC is near the upper range, removal of forced selling could enable a breakout to the upside.
Either way, the calm price action BTC has shown for weeks won’t last. Volatility is poised to return, and the next big move may happen faster than many expect.
Final Thought for Traders & Investors
Watch December 26 closely — it could mark the moment Bitcoin starts moving on real conviction again, ending the options-driven sideways market.
