On June 5, Bitcoin and Ethereum options worth a combined $1.89 billion expired as both cryptocurrencies traded near multi-month lows. Bitcoin options, valued at $1.62 billion, expired far below their key max pain level of $70,500, with Bitcoin briefly dipping near $60,000 amid a sharp selloff. Ethereum options, worth $270 million, also faced pressure with a max pain level near $2,000. The market saw increased hedging demand and bearish activity, reflecting cautious sentiment amid weak crypto momentum. Meanwhile, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire initially pushed oil and gold prices lower, but renewed tensions kept broader market risks alive. Traders now watch key Bitcoin and Ethereum support levels and macro signals to gauge if the expiry will ease or deepen market weakness.
