BTC and ETH Options Expiry Reflects Market Optimism Amid Price Correction

According to BlockBeats, analyst Adam from Greeks.Live released today's options expiry data, revealing significant figures for BTC and ETH. A total of 34,000 BTC options have expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.3 and a maximum pain point at $118,000, amounting to a nominal value of $3.82 billion. Meanwhile, 220,000 ETH options have expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.82 and a maximum pain point at $4,250, totaling a nominal value of $950 million. Adam noted that this week's theme is price correction, yet both BTC and ETH remain near their all-time highs, indicating a generally optimistic market sentiment. This week sees nearly $5 billion in options expiry, representing 8% of the current total open interest, which is relatively low historically, contrasting sharply with the current daily high trading volume of nearly $5 billion. Key options data show a noticeable rebound in implied volatility, with BTC's short to medium-term IV rising above 35% and ETH's main term IV remaining below 70%, while short-term IV has surpassed 80%. The options market is showing clear divisions, but overall, there is a stronger sentiment towards anticipating reduced future volatility.
