🚨According to Deribit data, the largest ever 78,631,326,119 options contracts will expire this Friday——
The value of these expiring contracts is $14 billion, with a ratio of put options to call options at 0.69, meaning for every 10 call options, there are 7 put options.
The maximum pain point is $84,000, indicating that the market is still predominantly bearish.
A commonly used indicator: before major options expiration dates, market prices often trend toward the maximum pain point.
The volatility index (DVOL) has been fluctuating sharply recently, indicating significant divergence in the market.
Therefore, from Christmas until around January 5th, liquidity is expected to be low, and the market may still be primarily in a downward consolidation.
Try to avoid making risky moves before and after expiration; if you have money, spend it for the holidays, and if you don’t, just hang in there and relax!
