#比特币流动性 Today's options expiration volume hits a new high—approximately 300,000 BTC options are about to settle, with a notional value approaching $23.7 billion. Including ETH positions, the total funds involved in this expiration round reach $28.5 billion, double the amount from the same period last year.
It seems calm on the surface, but there are underlying currents. I reviewed data from the past three years and found an interesting pattern: whenever a single expiration exceeds $5 billion, the market tends to follow a similar rhythm—initially a downward attempt to pressure, then a sudden spike at the expiration moment, followed by a rebound and recovery. It sounds simple, but few actually profit from it. Statistically, about 90% of retail traders blindly chasing longs end up with losses, and 80% who panic and close early miss out on the rebound. This time, the market outlook isn't very optimistic, and market makers will be more aggressive.
So instead of being scared by short-term spikes, it's better to clarify your thinking first. If you're still debating whether to be bullish or bearish today, take a look at how the market is actually moving. Market trends depend on a good mindset to see the direction clearly.

28.5 billion USD... This time, market makers are really going to have a feast, and retail investors will have to be swept again.
First, stay calm and don't be scared into panicking.
I mentioned yesterday that mindset is the key; understand the market pattern clearly before taking action.
90% of the bullish followers will get washed out. Will this time follow the same rhythm?
The bigger the appetite of market makers, the tighter we need to hold our belts, really.

$28.5 billion... To be honest, this data is shocking, but I believe the statistic that 90% of retail investors lose money. Anyway, let's not get involved.

This trick of inserting needles has been played out. Every time, they say there's a pattern, but the pattern is just losing money.
---
Are market makers greedy? Then I'll be less greedy. I'll act only when I see a good opportunity.
---
Having a good mindset makes the direction clear... I've heard this a hundred times, but is it really that easy to have a good mindset?
---
The figure of $28.5 billion is a bit outrageous. If it can reach maturity safely, I will be grateful.
---
Instead of trying to predict, just watch. Anyway, predictions are never accurate.

Talking about patterns here, but the market loves to break patterns.

$28.5 billion worth of maturities in one wave, retail investors really need to see clearly how capable they are...
