*Why does this AMPLIFY volatility?*

▫️Institutional traders must close, roll/rollover (sell the expiring contract and buy a new one for the next quarter) or hedge positions in bulk

▫️This generates a large number of orders, especially in the last hour of the market (“witching hour”)

▫️On average, the SP500 tends to close in red on these days, and $BTC is no exception

📉Look at this KEY pattern in the $BTC chart: ☝️

▪️March 2025: -16.6% after the quad witching

▪️June 2025: -8.5%

▪️September 2025: -7.9%

👉Each expiration marked strong immediate drops, although BTC later recovered

📍Tomorrow, December 19, this pattern may activate… and it coincides with Japan's decision and the PCE inflation data
