This week’s expiry event marks a return to normalcy following last quarter’s major settlement, with a balanced put/call ratio of 1.1 and maximum pain at $115,000 suggesting limited market disruption. Meanwhile, spot markets continue their upward trajectory, with Bitcoin briefly touching $121,000 and total crypto capitalization approaching record highs of $4.23 trillion, buoyed by weak US labor data that increases pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut rates.
