Attention traders: A significant options expiry event is happening today. Approximately $2.25 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire, which could trigger considerable market volatility in the coming hours.

This scale of expiring derivatives typically creates pressure on prices as positions get closed or rolled over. Whether you're holding spot or trading futures, keep your risk management tight. Market swings could go either direction depending on how these options expire in-the-money or out-of-the-money.

Stay alert and watch the price action closely.

The crypto world has this kind of drama every week Liquidation drama, betting on who goes bankrupt first The promised risk management, but in the end, it's all in on the gamble Is this time a dump or a pump? The answer is, it could be either Staying up late watching the market again, my liver Holy shit, this scale is enough to shake everything up Another technical bottom that I can't understand? Why is it at this time again? Where's my stop loss? Derivatives train is coming, as usual—either making a killing or getting wiped out Options are about to expire, this is getting interesting

2.25 billion? Such a liquidity gap needs to be closely monitored; arbitrage opportunities might only exist within these few hours.

Another 2.25 billion in options expiration, this time it’s definitely going to explode. But to be honest, these kinds of news are always scary, and what’s the result... Contract leverage guys, remember to set stop-losses today. A painful lesson; last year at this time, I didn’t heed the advice.
