JUST IN: Bitcoin Price Pinned at $91,850 Ahead of Massive $5.2 Billion Friday Options Expiry.
The current market silence is deceptive. Bitcoin is trading in an extremely tight range, significantly below historical volatility norms. This is a calculated "dealer pin" effect designed to crush option premiums before tomorrow’s monthly settlement.
This compression matters because it is artificial. On-chain data indicates rising open interest despite flat price action, creating a "coiled spring" scenario. Smart money is utilizing this suppressed environment to position for the inevitable expansion.
Traders should prepare for the pin to break within 24 hours. Once these contracts expire, the gamma clamp releases, historically leading to a sharp, directional volatility spike as the market seeks fresh liquidity levels.
