This week marks an important milestone in the crypto market—Bitcoin and Ethereum have simultaneously reached their all-time largest options expiration cycle. Data shows that the total scale of this options expiration reaches $28.5 billion, doubling compared to the same period last year, highlighting the high level of market participation.

The core uncertainty in the current price trend lies within the 87k-88k range. This is not just a number, but a critical watershed that will determine the recent direction.

The logic is actually quite simple—

If the price can stabilize within this range, holder confidence will rebound, and the probability of an upward trend will increase; conversely, if it cannot break through effectively, the oscillation pattern will continue, waiting for the next definitive signal.

Based on historical options scale and current price sensitivity points, this week's volatility should be quite interesting. Whoever can hold this position will control the short-term rhythm.

BTC1,52%

ETH1,82%

$28.5 billion options... We really have to wait for the moment of 87k, feels like there will be a good show this week --- It's the same argument every time—standing firm at a certain point and then rising. Say it every time, and every time I get proven wrong haha --- If I can't hold steady, I'll cut my position. No more messing around --- A new historical high in options volume indicates that big players are betting on the direction. Interesting to see if they'll be caught in a reverse squeeze in the next few days --- I just want to know who is really controlling this rhythm; retail investors definitely don't stand a chance --- Wait, $28.5 billion doubled? What was it last year... This number is really scary --- Holding steady? I think it's more than 80% still trying to bottom out. Don't overthink it --- When will the certainty signals finally come? I'm waiting so long I feel like becoming a monk

$28.5 billion delivery cycle, wow this scale is really outrageous, if it can hold steady at 87k, then it's a win --- The 87-88k threshold feels like walking a tightrope, one wrong step and it's over --- Basically, it's about whether we can break through this week, otherwise it'll just continue to range sideways --- The largest options volume in history hitting this price point will definitely be exciting, get the popcorn ready for the show --- It's true that whoever controls the rhythm has the say, now it's just a matter of betting whether the market makers will shake out the stops --- Volatility must continue, waiting for a confirmed signal is the hardest part of these days --- $28.5 billion, doubled last year, such high participation makes it hard to tell whether to be bullish or bearish --- Holding this position steady means entering an upward channel, sounds simple but it really depends on luck

$28.5 billion options settlement, it looks like a storm is coming this week Is 87k-88k really that critical? Feels like it's always said every time Institutions are frantically cutting leeks, this data doubling is no joke Waiting to see who can withstand the pressure, I bet five cents on volatility until the end of the month This point feels a bit虚, is Bitcoin really so easy to be "cornered"? $28.5 billion, no wonder there's so much agitation lately, big players are betting If 87k can't be broken, it's over; even if broken, it might not rise, awkward This week I might be dominated by the fear of options controlling my fear Stand firm? History tells me that a stable position has never existed Volatility pattern = my money gets cut in half, can't listen anymore

87k-88k can't break through, just wait to be trapped again. Looks like this week will be another show. --- 285 billion options are pouring in, the market maker is about to lose it. I bet five dollars it's just a fake move again. --- Stand firm? Ha, I think most will just keep messing around. Anyway, I'm already numb. --- If this wave can really break through, I will directly eat the short position, but I don't think it will go that smoothly haha. --- Feels like another big harvest show. Retail investors are always the ones getting abused no matter how they play. --- This is the key position. Those who miss out will regret it. Let's wait for a confirmed signal. --- What does the doubling scale mean? It means more people lost compared to last year. --- Short-term rhythm control? Bro, this is a gamble. No one truly has control.
