$ETH


🚨The largest options expiration in history is tomorrow, $BTC will start the "magnifying glass mode".
Many people are still focused on the price, but the real risk lies in the structure. Tomorrow, approximately $23.6 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire, marking the largest options expiration in Bitcoin's history. Such events are never just about "expiration"; they directly affect short-term volatility.
To put it simply: market makers need to unwind their hedges.
When these options-related hedge positions are concentrated and unloaded, the support and resistance levels formed by the options structure will become ineffective in a short time, and the market will enter a typical "capital structure vacuum period." During this phase, prices often do not move according to logic, but rather follow volatility, with amplitudes significantly amplified until new capital completes its bets.
So where's the opportunity?
If BTC experiences a quick pullback after expiration, especially returning to the previous low concentration area of $80,000–$82,000, this might not be a panic point, but rather a range for short-term rebounds. It is important to emphasize that the downward movement caused by the structural vacuum does not equal a new round of trend collapse.
From a finer capital perspective, a key signal has already appeared on a smaller scale—there is a bullish divergence between price and capital increment gradient. In other words, while the price is declining, the speed of actual capital outflow has not synchronized with this decline, which usually indicates that selling pressure is weakening, and there is a technical demand for market repair.
History is not unfamiliar.
In the cycles of 2021–2022 and 2024–2025, similar signals appeared a total of 4 times, after which BTC saw rebounds of varying levels, some even directly evolving into trend reversals. Of course, considering the current overall sentiment still leans toward caution, it is more inclined towards a rebound rather than an immediate reversal
