The recent crypto market has been quite interesting. Bitcoin has been fluctuating around $87,700, while Ethereum is also oscillating around $2,945, with intraday volatility not exceeding 2%. Basically, the lack of liquidity during the holiday and the Christmas market closure have resulted in no clear trend.
However, it’s worth noting that on the 26th, there are $23.7 billion worth of Bitcoin options expiring, which could cause some short-term volatility. Such timing often leads to fund reallocations and position adjustments.
On the platform side, things are very lively. Taking advantage of the holiday atmosphere, various platforms are launching Christmas activities, offering generous rewards for both new and existing users. The event scale is quite substantial, helping to boost activity during this typically quiet period. For traders, this is a time to watch out for potential volatility from options expiry, and also to check out the platform’s promotional offers—don’t miss out on either.

What will happen with the options expiring on the 26th? I'm a bit nervous.

23.7 billion options are still expiring, so we need to keep a close eye on it. If this wave of market movement gets broken through, it will be a disaster.
The platform activities are quite good, but during holidays, the liquidity really collapses, and no one is willing to take the dip.
These days, it feels like just sleeping, waiting for the show on the 26th.

23.7 billion options are about to expire, time to watch the show, this wave could be interesting.
Liquidity during the holiday is so poor, but platform activities are quite active. Just to pass the time.
The market has no direction, so I won't move. Let's wait for the show on the 26th.
Christmas market closure is really boring. The back-and-forth friction of Bitcoin at 87,700 is really dull.
The options liquidation show is about to start. I'm just waiting to see how the various experts perform.

$23.7 billion worth of options expiring? Buddy, this is the real arbitrage window. Volatile markets are actually an opportunity for seasoned traders like us to make a fortune, understand?
