What Are Max Pain Levels and Why Do They Matter?

[cryptohog]

Max pain is the price level where the largest number of options contracts expire worthless, causing maximum losses for option holders. For this expiry:

Bitcoin max pain: $105,000

Ethereum max pain: $3,500
Prices tend to gravitate toward these levels as expiration approaches due to the influence of large market participants and hedging activities.
