This Friday (4:00 PM Beijing time on the 26th) will mark a critical moment—$23.6 billion worth of Bitcoin options will undergo concentrated settlement. This is not only a large scale but also reveals market expectations through the order book. On the bullish side, large positions are mainly betting on the 100k and 120k price levels, indicating that many institutions still see potential for upward movement. On the bearish side, the defensive focus is around 85k, showing a clear consensus of support below. Overall, the biggest pain point is at $96,000—this typically indicates the area with the most market liquidity and is also where sharp volatility is most likely to occur during settlement. Traders should pay close attention to the performance at this price level, as it may provide clear signals about the market direction this week. Wishing everyone smooth trading!

The 96k level really can't hold up, it's definitely going to be a big show.

96k is a critical level. A big show is bound to unfold then, and the institutions have been itching to get started.

The 96k point is really crucial; it feels like the institutions are holding back their big moves here.

96k is really a high-risk position, we'll see the true performance on Friday.
