$2.2B Options Expiry Incoming: Are Whales Preparing a January Shockwave? 🤯
This is not spot trading data; this is pure derivatives positioning reflecting massive institutional expectations heading into 2026. Over $2.2 billion in
$BTC and
$ETH options are set to expire in the first week of the new year.
For
$BTC , we are looking at approximately $1.87B expiring, with Call options heavily favored over Puts. The market's max-pain point sits near $88,000. Meanwhile,
$ETH sees about $340M expiring, also leaning bullish with Calls dominating, centered around a $4,600 max-pain level. Remember, expiry is just settlement or rollover time, but these figures show where the big money was betting. Watch the volatility around these dates. 👀
