Bitcoin & Ethereum Face $4.3B Options Expiry

[AIcash]

Bitcoin surged past $120,000, but traders face volatility as $4.3B in BTC and ETH options expire on Oct. 3. BTC leads with $3.36B in expiring contracts, max pain at $115K, while ETH has $974M expiring, max pain at $4,200. Analysts warn choppy price action and forced rebalancing could stall BTC momentum, with ETH remaining fragile due to collapsed volatility.

That’s a massive expiry volume. Expect some volatility as traders reposition for the next move.

$4.3B in options expiry could shake up the market short term. Watching BTC and ETH price reactions closely.

That’s a huge expiry load — $4.3B is no joke. Volatility could spike hard around settlement, especially if BTC dips toward the $115K “max pain” zone. Buckle up for some wild swings this week
