According to Greekslive, on July 17, 19k BTC options will expire, with a notional value of about $1.2 billion, a Put/Call Ratio of 0.9, and the largest pain point at $63k; additionally, 123k ETH options will expire, with a notional value of about $230 million, a Put/Call Ratio of 1.61, and the largest pain point at $1,800. Greekslive believes that BTC has been trading in a range of $60k to $65k for more than a month, and this week’s expiring options account for about 5% of total open interest. The share of ETH put options has been higher than call options for more than a month and continues to rise, indicating a clear split between bulls and bears.

BTC-1.96%
ETH-3.17%

Wow, 19k BTC options are set to expire, $1.2 billion, and the market is about to start shaking again.

BTC’s Put/Call Ratio is only 0.9, so it’s still fairly balanced, but ETH has surged to 1.61—this bearish sentiment is a bit alarming.

The share of bearish ETH options has continued to rise for a month. With such a clear split between bulls and bears, make sure you keep a close watch on the short term—so you don’t get unintentionally affected.

The biggest pain points are 63k and 1,800. It feels like BTC still needs to churn between $60k and $65k, while the ETH side is building up its shorts.
