The put-call ratio stood at a lowly 0.49. Maximum pain for the same set of BTC options is evaluated at 68500, where the remarkable notional value accounted for $1.35 bn.

SEMrush also concluded that 200,000 ETH options, whose expiration date falls in the same period, have a Put Call Ratio of 0.36. Maximum pain for ETH options was at $3,600, which is a 710 million notional value.

The most critical gauge of sentiment is the Put Call Ratio, and it is below 1. This means the market sentiment is especially bullish since the ratio of BTC at 0.49 indicated that calls dwarfed those to sell and thus was decidedly optimistic. Comparing this to the case of ETH, the 0.36 Put Call Ratio strongly suggests a high possibility of bullish sentiment in the Ethereum market.

Major BTC and ETH Options Expiry and Market Impact

June 14 Options Data Significant Expirations in BTC and ETH Markets!

    BTC’s max pain point stands at $68,500, meaning that at this price, most options would expire worthless, and the same applies to ETH’s pain point of $3,600.

    Another development is that the IV for BTC and ETH options is lower. Actually, each of the major short-term IVs for BTC is below 50%, and for ETH, it is below 60%. From this, one can conclude that a decrease in volatility brings much calmness to the market. Also, option buyers will find themselves in a position to subtract their position at a much cheaper cost.
