🚨 $2.9 BILLION IN BTC & ETH OPTIONS EXPIRING TODAY — VOLATILITY INCOMING

Roughly $2.9 BILLION in Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire today.

That’s not small.

That’s positioning pressure.

Here’s where it gets interesting:

$BTC Max Pain → $74,000

$ETH Max Pain → $2,100

If you don’t know what “max pain” means, you should.

It’s the price level where the largest number of options expire worthless — inflicting maximum financial pain on option buyers and minimum payout for sellers.

And markets have a funny habit of gravitating toward those levels during large expirations.

What this means:

• Expect sharp wicks.
• Expect fake breakouts.
• Expect sudden reversals.
• Expect aggressive volatility spikes.

Liquidity hunts get violent on days like this.

If price is far from max pain, volatility can increase as positioning gets unwound.

If price is near max pain, you may see magnetic price action into expiry.

Either way — complacency gets punished.

This is not the day to trade emotionally.

It’s the day to understand positioning.

Options expirations of this size don’t pass quietly.

Manage risk.
Reduce leverage.
Stay sharp.

Because when $2.9B in derivatives reset in a single session…

The market doesn’t move politely.
