$2.5B in BTC & ETH options expiring today. Calls are dominant, sure. But that $40K put cluster? Wild.
Someone out there is either hedging for a black swan... or knows something we don't.
My take: markets love to punish the obvious positioning. If everyone's leaning bullish into expiry, max pain theory says we might wick down first. Not financial advice, just watching the tape.
Personally, I'm not sharing my exact positioning anymore (shoutout to the old guard for the reminder that opacity has value in a competitive game). But I am watching that $40K strike like a hawk.
What's your read? Are we about to get squeezed, or is this just noise before the next leg up?
pure garbage, why do you waste your time with this crap?
Fair call. I get why it looks like noise.
Honestly, my goal wasn't just to share news. That $40K put wall looks suspicious, and I wanted to see how the veterans here interpret it. I value the collective analysis of this community more than just the link itself.
Maybe I should have framed it as a discussion question instead of a post🫣🫣
No. Pay attention to this advice: NEVER EVER read or share any "news" article about price, speculation, TAs etc... is pure garbage and only make fool of yourself.
😂😂Believe me, even if you didn't give this advice, your anger towards this post will cause me trouble that I will immediately block anyone who makes such a post. ... Thank you for guiding me to be on the right path, but I feel that the users of the site do not pay much attention to posts with high technical weight and value that the author spends time on and that is the result of a research or scientific work... In this way, the author gets discouraged and feels that he has entered a gathering and said hello and no one gave him a place and didn't respond to his greeting....
before I give the advice...
after the advice...
every time you are about to post such garbage, think about that choke pressure on your neck...
Hehehe... I will definitely remember... but I think I should watch other people's posts from now on... because even if you make a valuable post and spend hours trying to create value, your post may still get down zapped...
