According to ChainCatcher, market reports indicate that Bitcoin and Ethereum options with a nominal value totaling approximately $2.22 billion are set to expire this Friday. The Bitcoin options have a nominal value of $1.84 billion, with a Put/Call ratio of 1.05 and a maximum pain price of $90,000. The open interest in Bitcoin options is linked to the spot price range, with substantial bearish positions below $85,000. Bullish positions increase between $90,000 and $100,000, creating a 'pin risk' near the maximum pain price.
Ethereum options have a nominal value of $384 million, with a Put/Call ratio of 0.89 and a maximum pain price of $3,100. Bullish positions in Ethereum options are concentrated above $3,000. If the spot price remains above the maximum pain price, the post-expiry positioning may make market makers more sensitive to continued upward price movements.
