Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 24, cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe posted on platform X that Bitcoin has been hovering between $85,000 and $90,000 for weeks, and now it's a waiting game where capital will only flow back into the cryptocurrency market after U.S. stocks hit local highs. Market analysis suggests that historically, Bitcoin often experiences a 5% to 7% volatility during the Christmas period, a pattern usually related to the expiration of year-end options rather than new fundamental catalysts. Data shows that this Friday, about 300,000 Bitcoin options contracts (worth $23.7 billion) and 446,000 IBIT options contracts are set to expire.
