#数字资产市场动态 There is an event worth paying attention to on December 25th—$23.6 billion worth of Bitcoin options are about to expire. Honestly, this is the largest expiration date in Bitcoin options history.



What will happen when this number actually hits? Market makers will unwind their hedging positions, and the price support and resistance levels maintained by the options structure will temporarily fail. In this scenario, the volatility of $BTC is likely to be amplified—markets often move during the gap when capital shifts from one structure to another.

From a technical perspective, if during this process BTC returns to the $80,000 to $82,000 range, it could be a good opportunity for a short-term rebound. Don’t overthink the volatility caused by the vacuum in capital structure; it doesn’t necessarily signal the start of a new downtrend.

Even more interesting is that on a smaller scale, the comparison between price momentum and actual capital inflow (the "price and capital increase gradient") has already shown a bullish divergence signal. In other words, the speed of capital withdrawal is slower than the price decline of BTC, indicating the market is correcting its downtrend and that rebound demand is building.

Historical data is quite instructive—during 2024-2025 and 2021-2022, after four similar bullish divergence signals, Bitcoin rebounded each time, with some even reversing trend. However, considering the current market sentiment is still in a correction phase leaning bearish, the likelihood of a rebound is higher.

23.6 billion maturing this wave, it feels like another round of cutting the leeks. Holding on is winning.

23.6 billion maturing, in simple terms, it's a major fund transfer. The real game is just beginning.

23.6 billion? That's really outrageous. Gotta see how this wave will dump the market.

236B expiry hitting like a gwei wave about to crash... tbh the mempool's been eerily quiet before these structural shifts. capital flow gradient screaming bullish divergence but nah, market sentiment's still in repair mode. 80-82k is where the real price discovery happens if we get that vacuum. seen this pattern 4 times now and yeah, reversals > corrections when technicals align like this

23.6 billion expiring directly creates a震荡点, but the bullish divergence here is indeed interesting. Capital escapes faster than price, which means what? You all should have a sense of it.

$23.6 billion due? This time, it depends on how the market makers play it. Seems like there will be some intense volatility.
