Today marks a significant moment for crypto derivatives markets. A massive wave of options contracts is hitting expiration—we're talking north of 4 billion dollars in combined Bitcoin and Ethereum positions.
The breakdown? Bitcoin options account for the lion's share at 3.36 billion, with the strike price clustering around 91K. Ethereum isn't far behind, bringing 668 million to the table with positions centered near the 3,050 level.
These expiration events often inject volatility into spot markets as traders adjust their hedges and take profits. Worth keeping an eye on price action through the settlement window.

4 billion options are expiring, theoretically it should cause a crash, but in reality, it all depends on who bails out first, haha.

4 billion expiring orders, 91K and 3050 are key levels that must be held, otherwise there will be a bloodbath.

4 billion options are expiring. Will this trigger any major market moves? Feels like BTC is really tense around the 91K level...

If 4 billion gets dumped, and this wave breaks the support, there’s definitely something to look forward to.

A $4 billion liquidation drama—who’s going to be crying this time? This is hilarious, just waiting to see the bodies pile up during this settlement window.
