WHY DOES $BTC NOT BREAK? HIDDEN FORCE IS ANCHORING THE PRICE AT 85K–90K 🔒
Recently, Bitcoin has been fluctuating between 85K–90K as if stuck. It's not due to retail hesitation — it's the mechanism of the options market.
What is happening?
• Gamma flip ~88K: the point at which market makers change their hedging behavior.
• Above 88K: they sell when it rises – buy when it falls → creating an invisible ceiling, any pump is absorbed.
• Below 88K: the stabilizing force disappears → volatility is easier to increase.
Why is 90K always rejected?
• Dense call options at 90K.
• Dealers have to sell spot to hedge every time the price touches → it looks like a “natural” resistance but is actually programmed selling.
Why does 85K bounce back quickly?
• Heavy put options at 85K force dealers to buy when the price drops → the bottom is picked up immediately.
Catalysts missed
• 12/26: about 75% of the current gamma is expiring.
• When it expires, the price anchoring force disappears — no news required, just mathematics.
What will happen next?
• Strong breakout if underlying demand is strong, or
• Large downward volatility if sellers are waiting for the right moment.
➡️ Key point: a big movement is coming.
How to read the market for those ahead
• 90K ≠ “psychological resistance”, 85K ≠ “bulls defending”.
• These are option positions. When they expire, the true sentiment will be revealed.
Conclusion: The current range is artificially compressed. Breaking out is just a matter of time.
Stay alert around 12/26 — those who understand the structure will have an advantage.
