About 31,000 Bitcoin options worth $1.9 billion and 138,000 Ethereum options worth $230 million expired on June 19. Bitcoin and Ethereum traded below their maximum pain levels of $65,000 and $1,725, respectively, as institutional selling pressure and weak demand weighed on prices. The data matters because options expirations can affect market volatility and trader positioning. Next, attention turns to next week’s quarterly settlement, when roughly 15% of open options positions are set to expire, potentially influencing volatility and market direction.
