🚨 $8.27B
$BTC Options Expiry Volatility Locked & Loaded 🚨
Bitcoin is walking into the largest options expiry of 2026 on Jan 30, and the setup screams violent price action.
A massive $8.27 billion in BTC options is about to expire — enough firepower to shake the entire market.
🔵 Bullish bets are heavily stacked at $100K calls
🔴 Fear & hedging sit between $65K–$80K puts
⚖️ Max Pain zone: $90K — where option traders lose the most
With BTC trading near $95K, history suggests price often gravitates toward max pain as expiry approaches when open interest is this large. That means chop, fakeouts, and forced positioning are all on the table.
This isn’t random volatility — this is calculated positioning.
👉 Either BTC gets pinned near $90K, draining both sides…
👉 Or once expiry pressure lifts, Bitcoin explodes away with force.
Calm before the storm is ending.
