Hitting and holding $100K Bitcoin price depends on $11.8B end-of-year BTC options expiry
Bitcoin’s ability to reach and hold the $100,000 level will be influenced by the upcoming $11.8 billion options expiry.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) market is preparing for the year-end $11.8 billion options expiry, set for Dec. 27 at 8:00 am UTC. Recent data reveals a strong advantage for call (buy) options, though bears could significantly limit their losses by keeping Bitcoin’s price below $75,000.

As of now, the total open interest for call options is $7.9 billion, while put (sell) options lag at $3.92 billion—underscored by Bitcoin’s 29% rise since October, which has likely rendered most put options worthless.
