Deribit exchange News - The Bitcoin market is preparing for a major shift as $4.3 billion in options contracts expire this Friday. All eyes are on the $113,000 level—breaking through could spark a rally toward $120,000, while failure to hold may trigger a sharp reversal. Deribit dominates the options landscape, with its order book showing a delicate balance between put and call options. Despite initial put dominance, Bitcoin's recent surge past $114,000 has shifted momentum, potentially activating over $300 million in call options. Market makers are dealing with unprecedented gamma exposure at this strike price. The outcome will likely dictate short-term volatility, giving either buyers decisive leverage or sellers an opportunity to regain control.
