Bitcoin's $5.8B Quarterly Options Expiry May Spark Market Swings, Deribit Says
Briefly

The bitcoin market may see significant activity as options contracts worth several billion dollars are set to expire, potentially leading to increased volatility.
Approximately 20% of the bitcoin options expiring are in-the-money, which could heighten market volatility as traders adjust their positions ahead of the expiration.
The bullish sentiment in options beyond Friday's expiry reflects a positive outlook for bitcoin and ether, indicating traders are optimistic about future price movements.
Traders often roll over profit-making positions to extend their holding periods, suggesting a strategic move intended to capitalize on favorable market conditions.
