Key Points:
The max pain point for Bitcoin stood at $69,000. Notably, 295,000 ETH options are set to expire, holding a notional value of $860 million, a Put/Call ratio of 0.65, and a max pain point of $2,500. These expirations have created massive market volatility, which has implications for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The BTC and ETH options expiry comes as the cryptocurrency market has witnessed a sharp rally following Donald Trump’s victory. Bitcoin blew through $75,000, setting a new all-time high, and Ethereum witnessed a significant jump to rebound to $2,900, just near its Maxpain point for this week. This might be due to heavy positioning in the earlier parts of the rally, which has barely been shaken off with a big chunk of the options expiry achieved.

BTC and ETH options expiry often mark periods of market recalibration because the positions are settled, and options contracts start to lose influence. This event accounted for roughly 15% of the total open positions.
The U.S. election result further decreased the IV of short-term options, indicating market uncertainty is decreasing. Additionally, the IV of mainstream term options showed an across-the-board decline in parity. Meanwhile, with the market adjusting, the sentiment was getting optimistic, and many analysts predict the bullish trend will continue into the fourth quarter, which means that both Bitcoin and Ethereum will have strong momentum going into the future.
