by

🎉 Attention, folks! This Friday, September 12th, a whopping 29,500 Bitcoin options contracts are set to expire, and they’re worth a cool $3.4 billion! 💰 That’s right, more money than Mel Brooks has in his couch cushions! 🛋️

Now, you might be thinking, “Oh no, another expiry event! Will the markets go haywire?” 🤯 Fear not, my crypto comrades, for this event is as exciting as a rerun of *Spaceballs* – pretty much identical to last week’s! So, don’t expect any fireworks in the spot markets, which are already partying like it’s 1999 with a $4 trillion total capitalization! 🎉

Meanwhile, in the land of inflation, the Consumer Price Index did a little jig, rising 2.9% in August. 🕺 Yep, prices are up, but don’t worry, it’s all part of the economic dance routine! 💃

Bitcoin Options Expiry: The Saga Continues

This week’s Bitcoin options contracts have a put/call ratio of 1.3, meaning there are more bears than bulls in the arena. 🐻🐂 But hey, who doesn’t love a good bear market? It’s like a sale at the crypto mall! 🛍️

Open interest is highest at $140,000, with $2.7 billion on the line at Deribit. And let’s not forget the $1.8 billion at $120,000, or the $1.9 billion at $95,000, where the short sellers are having a field day! 🌾 Total Bitcoin futures OI is sitting pretty at $86.6 billion, according to CoinGlass. That’s a lot of zeros, folks! 🔢

Greeks Live chimed in, saying, “Despite the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision, implied volatility is as calm as a cucumber. 🥒 The market’s betting on a 25-basis-point rate cut, so no need to panic!”

“The options market is as chill as a polar bear in a snowstorm, pricing in low future volatility. Brrr! 🌨️”

And let’s not forget Ethereum! 🦄 Around 190,000 ETH contracts are expiring too, worth $858 million. That brings Friday’s total crypto options expiry to a mind-boggling $4.25 billion! 💥

Crypto Market Outlook: To the Moon… or Not?
