Deribit exchange News -
Deribit data shows $2.65 billion in Bitcoin options expiring today, with a max pain point at $94,000 and a put/call ratio of 1.05. The 25,925 contracts mark a slight decrease from last week’s 26,949.
Ethereum follows with 164,591 expiring contracts—down from 184,296—representing $364 million notional value. Its max pain point is $1,850, with a higher put/call ratio of 1.43 indicating stronger bearish hedging.
Market participants anticipate heightened volatility as these concentrated expirations collide with thin weekend liquidity. The skewed ratios suggest defensive positioning, particularly in ETH markets.
