🚨 LARGEST BITCOIN OPTIONS EXPIRY NEXT WEEK

Bitcoin is heading into a major volatility event.

📅 December 26 • Nearly $23.7B in $BTC options expire

• 268,000+ contracts roll off — the biggest expiry of 2025

⚠️ Size like this can move price, regardless of news or sentiment.

What’s happening beneath the surface:

• Open interest is heavily call-side

• Low put/call ratio = traders still bullish

• Large players hedge via spot + futures

• Those hedges create real buy/sell pressure

When heavy positioning clusters at key strikes, $BTC often sees: • Rejections at levels

• Sharp wicks

• Choppy price & fakeouts

That’s why price action feels “off” right now.

🎯 Key level: $96,000 • This is the max pain zone

• Where option buyers lose the most at settlement

• BTC doesn’t have to go there — but large expiries often pull price toward it

Typical behavior before expiry: • Choppy moves

• Stop hunts both sides

• Failed breakouts

After expiry: • Hedging pressure fades

• Liquidity clears

• Price trends more cleanly

📌 December 26 = reset point

Expect cleaner, more directional moves once this expiry passes. #TrumpTariffs ,#bitcoin
