As the options contracts near expiration at 8:00 UTC today, Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin and
Ethereum• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Ethereum prices are expected to approach their respective maximum pain points.
According to BeInCrypto data, BTC was trading for $93,792 as of this writing,
whereas ETH was exchanging hands for $3,258 .
This suggests that prices might rise as smart money aims to move them toward
the “max pain” level. According to the Max Pain theory, options prices tend to
gravitate toward strike prices where the highest number of contracts, both
calls and puts, expire worthless.
Price pressure on BTC and ETH is likely to ease after 08:00 UTC on Friday when
Deribit settles the contracts. However, the sheer scale of these expirations
could still fuel heightened volatility in the crypto markets.
“Is it a breakout or another consolidation,” Deribit posed in a post on X
(Twitter).
Meanwhile, analysts remain divided about the next directional bias for
Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin s price. While some hope for further upside, others bet on
downside if the support around $92,000 breaks. Elsewhere, Glassnode indicates
a weakening of short-term demand momentum in the market.

“Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin short-term demand momentum has continued to weaken. One key
indicator: Hot Capital (capital revived over the last 7 days) has plunged
66.7% from its December 12 peak of $96.2 billion to $32.0 billion,” Glassnode
wrote .
The hot capital metric often gauges short-term trading activity and liquidity.
The decline implies a steep drop in speculative activity. Traders who were
previously active in moving Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin have pulled back, indicating waning
confidence or interest in short-term trading opportunities. With less capital
circulating actively, Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin s overall liquidity may be diminishing.
This makes it more challenging for large trades to occur without impacting
prices, potentially leading to increased volatility. A plunge of this
magnitude, from $96.2 billion to $32 billion, could reflect broader bearish
sentiment. Factors like macroeconomic uncertainty , tightening monetary
policies , or even regulatory developments could be causing short-term traders
to retreat.
The drop in hot capital could indicate traders moving to the sidelines,
waiting for clearer market direction. This lower demand momentum may weigh on
Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin s ability to sustain or rally from current price levels. Without
fresh capital or increased activity , downward price pressure could intensify.
