⚠️ATTENTION⚠️
THIS FRIDAY $23.600 MILLION IN #BITCOIN OPTIONS EXPIRES
December 26 could be a KEY DAY for the #crypto market
What if I tell you it is the LARGEST year-end EXPIRATION in the history of
$BTC ⁉️
This is no longer a market dominated by retail… We are seeing how INSTITUTIONAL RISK is being revalued IN REAL TIME
Why does it matter so much⁉️
▪️ Options are LEVERAGED BETS on price, which give you the option, but not the obligation, to exercise a buy or sell of an asset
▪️ CALLS: bet that BTC goes up
▪️ PUTS: bet that BTC goes down
👉 When options expire, two very different things can happen:
If they end up out of the money (i.e., worthless), nothing happens.
▪️ The market DOES NOT need to do anything. That option simply "dies"
But if the price is close to the levels of those options, traders may execute the buy or sell
▪️ This creates real money flows that push the price up or down
Why could this Friday be so explosive⁉️
🔸 Dealers are highly covered at levels like $85K, $96K, and $100K
🔸 On Friday, when $23.600M in options expire, those hedges become unnecessary
🔸 Then they may start closing those hedges: if they were buying BTC as a hedge, now they sell; if they were selling, now they buy
💥 That adjustment is what generates SHARP MOVEMENTS AFTER the expiration
📍That’s why many traders do not only look at what happens before expiration…
📍What comes after is what really moves the market
📍Many times the price stays sideways before expiration… and then moves strongly in a clear direction
📍The MAX PAIN (price at which the majority loses) is at $96K. Theory says this zone is a "magnet" for the price.
