The August 16 options expiration has caused significant price action in the cryptocurrency markets. Bears continue to maintain control despite potential trend stabilization. Options data points to bearish trends for both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced significant price swings as the option expiration date approaches on August 16. On Wednesday, Bitcoin’s value fell from $61.8K to $57.9K in a single day. Such price movements are common as traders await the expiration date. Despite the potential for price stabilization, technical indicators and liquidity charts suggest a bear trend is more likely. According to Deribit data, Bitcoin option open interest stood at around $1.414 billion just before the expiration date, indicating general bear market trends.$BTC

Bitcoin’s put/call ratio is set at 0.83, indicating a slight uptrend in the market but a generally balanced sentiment. The biggest pain point is set at $59.5K, where most options would become worthless. The price fell below $58.5K on Thursday, but no reversal has been observed.$ETH

While a decrease in volatility is expected in the coming days, bearish trends continue in both major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s market structure remains distinctly bearish, with On-Balance Volume (OBV) consistently showing selling pressure on the 6-hour chart. This lack of momentum is consistent with the current market structure, suggesting no signs of a reversal in the near future.

The Role of Liquidity Maps and External Data

Liquidation heatmaps make near-term bearish targets and a move south more likely. For Bitcoin, liquidity pools are located around $55.1K and $53.9K, while key liquidation levels north of $70K appear out of reach in the near term. For Ethereum, the closest liquidity pocket is located at $2.4K, with the upside target band of $2.8K to $2.9K considered less likely.

Macroeconomic Factors and Market Expectations

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% monthly in July, matching market expectations. However, with the possibility of a significant Federal Reserve rate cut waning, technical, liquidity and macroeconomic factors continue to support bear trends in the month ahead.

FOR THE GIFT OF 10 DOLLARS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

My friends, you know that we, the publishers, are doing everything we can for you here. We are conveying to you the services and conveniences that our authorities have provided us. I have never withdrawn my support for both the cryptocurrency market and you, and on the contrary, I am trying to provide more support.

THIS 10 DOLLAR GIFT CAMPAIGN IS A CAMPAIGN MADE ESPECIALLY FOR ME BY BINACE. YOU CAN GET CONFIRMATION OF WHAT I HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS ISSUE BY CALLING LIVE HELP. IT IS A 10 DOLLAR CAMPAIGN MADE FOR YOU THROUGH ME.

Now I will explain how you will receive your gift. First of all, Binance users who have registered with someone's reference and actively use futures transactions will unfortunately not be able to benefit from this promotion.

So who can benefit?

Our friends who have not yet activated the futures section, when you activate your FUTURES transaction section, you will earn $10 when you open it by entering my 88623008 reference code.

I EXPLAIN IN DETAILED.

My brothers and sisters who have become Binance members without a reference, please listen carefully;

When you do what I say in order, you will receive 10 USDT.

Go to the Futures Section from your application,

On the next screen, open your account by entering the code 88623008 in the REFERENCE CODE section,

My brothers and sisters who want to complete this transaction and receive the 10 USDT reward until MAY 1 can do so. Afterwards, after activating your account, it is enough to open your first futures transaction.

The first 1,000 brothers who open a 200 USDT transaction by MAY 1 will receive a 10 USDT reward.

So let me give you a tactic like this; even if you open and close 20x with a $5 transaction, you will be entitled to the reward.

Even if you do this after May 1st, your reward will not come. So, do it until May 1st. In fact, I would say do it right now in 5 seconds.

It's very simple. Go to futures, enter my 88623008 referral code and activate the account. Then just open a transaction of 200 usdt in total and get the 10 usdt reward.

WHEN WILL THE REWARD COME?

Your $10 reward will come to the REWARDS section of your Binance application within 30 days from May 1. By activating it from there, you can use your $10 reward, or more than 300 lira, in futures transactions.

You can share this post with your friends in need so that they can also benefit from it.

IN THE MEANWHILE, MY BROTHERS, PLEASE DON'T MISS YOUR LIKES. EVERY SHARE IS FOR YOU. SO DON'T WITHHOLD YOUR SUPPORT. EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T FOLLOWED US YET, DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW US. WITH MY REGARDS.
