The Fate Of Bitcoin Options: Key Levels &Amp; Market Sentiment You Need To Know!

On Friday, February 14, 21,300 contracts for Bitcoin options with a notional value of about $2 billion will expire. Despite the constant flow of positive news coming out of the US, the spot markets have been lackluster, and this week’s expiry event is a little smaller than last week’s, which had no effect.

This week’s Bitcoin options contracts have a put/call ratio of 0.67, which indicates that there are marginally more call (long) contracts than puts (short). $98,000 is the maximum pain point, or the price at which the majority of losses will transpire. According to Deribit data, the strike price of $120,000 has the most open interest (OI) at $1.8 billion, followed by $110,000 at $1.2 billion. This implies that traders continue to place bets on Bitcoin’s price rising over time.

This raises the total notional value of crypto options expiring on Friday to about $2.5 billion.

Institutions generally agree that February is going to be a junk time with no market, and indeed, the market looks like it is really lacking in hot spots and money,
