A massive wave of crypto derivatives activity is hitting the market today. Approximately $2.25 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts are set to expire, marking a significant moment for traders and market participants. This large-scale options expiration typically generates substantial price volatility and trading opportunities across major cryptocurrencies. Both BTC and ETH holders should stay alert, as these expirations often trigger cascading liquidations and sharp price movements. Keep monitoring the key support and resistance levels throughout the trading session.
