Bitcoin bears well positioned for Friday's $2.5 billion options expiry

Image
BTC bears are outnumbered based on open interest volume, but bulls' hopes of $20,000 before 2023 have already been hampered. A year-end wager for $80,000 Bitcoin (BTC) might seem entirely off the table now, but not so much back in March as BTC rallied to $48,000. Unfortunately, the two-week 25% gains that culminated with the $48,220 peak on March 28 were followed by a brutal bear market. It is important to highlight that the U.S. stock market likely has driven those events, as the S&P 500 index peaked at 4,631 on March 29 but traded down 21% to 3,640 by mid-June. Moreover, such a date coincides with the centralized cryptocurrency lender Celsius issues, which halted withdrawals on June 12, and the venture capital 3 Arrows Capital (3AC) insolvency on June 15. While the fear of an economic downturn has undoubtedly triggered the cryptocurrency bear market, the reckless mismanagement of centralized billion-dollar entities is what sparked the liquidations, pushing prices even lower...

Oil jumped a great deal in value this year amid the rising inflation and the start of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Another person people are curious about these days is Alameda Research’s ex-co-CEO Sam Trabucco.
