Weekly options expiry: can BTC rally over $120K again?

Weekly options expiry: can BTC rally over $120K again?

The post Weekly options expiry: can BTC rally over $120K again? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The weekly options expiry potentially set the stage for BTC and ETH price moves. However, the regular weekly event does not currently point at higher volatility.  The weekly Deribit options expiry points to a less eventful weekend. Usually, the Friday expiry brings at least somewhat increased volatility, potentially sparking weekend rallies. This time around, the weekly options expiry signals a slightly bearish attitude.  A total of $3.4B in open interest was set to expire on Friday, with a predominance of put options. The put/call ratio for BTC expanded to 1.3, signaling a more marked bearish attitude compared to previous weeks.  Despite the imminent Federal Reserve interest rate decision next week, implied volatility in the options market remains relatively stable, even showing a slight decline. The options market is pricing in relatively low future volatility, with a consensus that a 25-basis-point rate… pic.twitter.com/PqQJy3XmZV — Greeks.live (@GreeksLive) September 11, 2025 The latest BTC and ETH options expiry signals lower future volatility. The market is already taking into account the potential for a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Fed, not signaling any expectations for unexpected rallies. As Cryptopolitan reported earlier, a Fed price cut was most probably priced into the crypto market.  During the weekly options expiry, put calls dominated, signaling emerging bearish expectations for September. | Source: CoinGlass. The other weekly events until the end of September have lower notional value. At the end of the month, around $17.7B in options are set to expire, with a predominance of call options.  BTC still strong despite altcoin season The crypto fear and greed index took a few steps back, but is still in ‘greed’ territory. BTC dominance slid to 55.9% as altcoins took over with outsized pumps. Despite this, BTC still shows signs of recovery, alongside ETH.  Ahead of the options expiry, BTC…

Bitcoin and Ethereum Face Nearly $4.3 Billion Options Expiry

Bitcoin and Ethereum Face Nearly $4.3 Billion Options Expiry

The post Bitcoin and Ethereum Face Nearly $4.3 Billion Options Expiry appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Today, nearly $4.3 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options contracts are set to expire, a development that could influence short-term price movements.  While smaller than last week’s expiry, such events often spark volatility. The timing coincides with growing optimism over a potential Federal Reserve rate cut next week. Sponsored Sponsored Crypto Traders Eye $4.3 Billion Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Expiration Deribit data showed that Bitcoin options expiring today have a notional value of $3.42 billion. The total open interest stands at 29,651 contracts, a slight drop from last week’s 30,447. Of these, 12,819 are call contracts and 16,833 are put contracts. This creates a put-to-call ratio of 1.31, signaling more demand for downside protection. Such a skew often reflects caution among traders, as many are positioning for potential short-term weakness in Bitcoin’s price. Bitcoin Expiring Options.

For ETH, 93,518 call contracts versus 96,182 put contracts create a put-to-call ratio of 1.03.  The combined 189,700 contracts carry a notional value of $858.2 million, marking a significant decline from last week’s 299,744 contracts.

According to BeInCrypto Markets data, Bitcoin was trading at $115,617, above its maximum pain price of $113,000. Ethereum followed a similar pattern, trading at $4,553 against a maximum pain level of $4,400. Sponsored Sponsored The maximum pain metric identifies the price point at which the largest number of options contracts expire worthless, creating the steepest losses for traders. Market watchers often pay close attention to this level.  Why? Because prices tend to drift toward it when options approach expiration, a phenomenon explained by the Max Pain theory. Nonetheless, the spotlight now shifts to the Federal Reserve’s upcoming…

Traders Call It the Strongest Candidate for $2 from $0.035, Here Is Why

Traders Call It the Strongest Candidate for $2 from $0.035, Here Is Why

The post Traders Call It the Strongest Candidate for $2 from $0.035, Here Is Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In every cycle, crypto investors look for the project that combines strong fundamentals with scalable growth. Traders following crypto prices closely have begun pointing to one presale token that checks all the boxes: Mutuum Finance (MUTM). At just $0.035 in Phase 6 of its presale, it is being called the strongest candidate to surge toward $2, representing nearly 57x growth in the short term. The excitement is not built on speculation alone. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has engineered its system to create continuous revenue, limit price manipulation risks, and prepare for mass adoption through innovations that echo the early days of top-tier protocols. Analysts tracking crypto predictions believe these features make it one of the most compelling crypto investing opportunities right now. Revenue Loops and Oracle Security Drive Trust One of the most overlooked yet powerful aspects of Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is how its liquidation design benefits the entire ecosystem. Whenever a borrower fails to maintain the required collateral, liquidation penalties are routed directly into the treasury. Rather than leaving these penalties unutilized, the treasury is expected to recycle them into protocol growth, staking rewards, and governance incentives. This self-sustaining loop creates a continuous revenue engine that strengthens the project over time and supports the long-term token economy. Alongside this, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has committed to a robust oracle strategy to ensure transparent and accurate valuations for supported assets. The protocol will integrate leading providers such as Chainlink while also preparing fallback options and aggregated feeds to prevent outages or delays. On-chain data sources like decentralized exchange time-weighted averages will act as additional safeguards. This multi-layered oracle infrastructure is designed to minimize manipulation risks, making the platform attractive not just to retail traders but also to institutional investors who prioritize reliability. Together, the liquidation-based treasury revenue and oracle resilience establish Mutuum…
