Bitcoin options are financial derivatives that grant the holder the right to buy or sell Bitcoin at a predetermined price (the strike price) on or before a specified expiration date. These contracts come in two flavors:
The end of March 2024 marks a critical settlement date for Bitcoin option contracts when there's about $8.3B+ Open Interest in the market. Looking at the current OI in deribit, it's interesting that there's a really significant # of call contracts (option to buy) placed at 60k, 65, and 70k levels. What is even more interesting is the fact that the max pain price is $50k. As a result, there's a clear incentive for MMs to push the price to this range to make those call contracts worthless.
