由于战争、石油和美联储威胁重置波动性,比特币准备迎接 8B 美元期权到期

Burns Brief

比特币即将在最糟糕的时刻进入今年最大的期权到期日之一,这一消息令市场参与者感到不安,空头希望压低价格,而多头则试图捍卫关键支撑位。观察 $BTC $NEAR 的反应 - 高于或低于关键水平的决定性走势将确认下一个趋势。

Bitcoin is heading into one of the year's largest options expirations at the worst possible moment. CoinGlass data shows roughly $8.07 billion in notional open interest for Deribit's options expiring on April 24, split between 56,300 calls and 49,540 puts. While the ratio itself leans bullish, it's sitting against one of the most uncertain macro backdrops in the past few months. The expiry takes place three days before the Federal Reserve convenes for its April 28-29 meeting and four days before the Bureau of Economic Analysis publishes both Q1 GDP and March PCE inflation data on April 30. That's the densest macro calendar we've seen in a while, and it opens in an environment where Fed officials have spent the past week warning, on the record, that oil-driven inflation could keep borrowing costs elevated for considerably longer than markets had assumed. There's quite a bit of tension in the derivatives structure itself.

Max pain for the contract sits near $71,500 to $72,000, roughly $3,000 to $4,000 below the current Bitcoin price .

That gap can create downward gravitational pull as settlement approaches. The Fed has a new problem, and it comes from the Strait The war that began in late February, when coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which roughly 20% of global oil supply flows, sent Brent crude above $100 a barrel for the first time in years.
