Oh my god, I just saw a piece of data that scared me 😱 This Friday, there will be $28.5 billion worth of BTC and ETH options expiring?? What does that mean, it feels like Bitcoin is about to be "played to death"...

An expert explained that this is the largest options expiration day in history, with only Bitcoin options totaling $23.6 billion expiring. I looked into it and realized that this means a huge number of contracts will settle at the same time, and volatility could be extremely high 🌊

What I’m most curious about is the concept of the "maximum pain point" — it turns out options have a specific price point where the interests of buyers and sellers are opposed. This time, the pain point is at $96,000, and some analysis suggests this could push Bitcoin’s price higher? But I’m still a bit confused — does this mean the price is very likely to move in that direction?

It seems that the options market is much more complex than the spot market, and the risks appear to be even greater. I really want to understand how options work and why so many people care about expiration dates... If anyone knowledgeable about options can give a newbie some tips, I’d really appreciate it 😅
