On October 30, 149,686 Bitcoin options contracts, representing $12.2 billion in notional value, will expire on the Deribit exchange. Most calls are clustered at strike prices well above the current Bitcoin price of around $81,420, with max pain calculated at $79,000—below the current price—indicating potential downward pressure. The expiry's impact is more about hedging activity than volume, as option writers adjust positions, potentially influencing price movements near key levels like $79,000 and $81,326. While the expiry date itself is unlikely to drive major price shifts, the market will watch these thresholds closely in the coming days.
