Significant options expiration alert: approximately $2.75 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts are maturing today. This substantial volume hitting the market simultaneously can trigger notable price volatility across both major cryptocurrencies. Traders holding positions in BTC and ETH should remain vigilant and consider tightening risk management strategies. Large derivatives expirations often act as market inflection points, creating trading opportunities for those prepared to navigate the potential swings. Monitor key support and resistance levels closely as these contracts settle.

ETH1.41%
