Bitcoin has rallied from ~$62K to ~$80K in a week. Now Friday’s options expiry puts that move directly against some of the market’s largest strike concentrations.
~$6.4B in BTC options expire on Friday, with:
→ $236M in call notional at $75K
→ $157M in calls at $80K
→ Max pain around $68K
Much of that positioning was established before BTC’s ~23% move higher.
With spot now trading around the upper call concentrations, those strikes have become more relevant into expiry than they were a week ago, as the market has moved directly into a larger pocket of outstanding options exposure.
A very different expiry setup than the one established before the rally.(Coinbase Assets 🛡️)
