Bitcoin Set for Largest-Ever Options Expiry This Friday, Potentially Fueling Bitcoin Price Spike
Roughly $23.6 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire this Friday, December 24 — marking the largest options expiry in Bitcoin’s history.
Analysts note the expiry is large-scale and overall bullish. The maximum pain point (the price level where options buyers face the steepest losses at expiry, while sellers book the biggest profits) is $96,000, which is expected to reinforce Bitcoin’s upward price momentum.

The Bitcoin bear market phase is expected to last around 364 days, with the bottom anticipated to occur in October of next year
On December 24th, analyst @alicharts noted that Bitcoin’s major historical cycles have followed a strikingly consistent rhythm in both time and depth:
? It takes roughly 1,064 days for the crypto to move from a market bottom to its peak;
? It takes roughly 364 days to decline from a peak to the subsequent market bottom;
Based on this recurring pattern, @alicharts infers Bitcoin is currently in a 364-day adjustment window—meaning its next bottom may land around October 2026 at a price of roughly $37,500.

Analysis: Currently, Bitcoin is in a fragile equilibrium state, and if it falls below $85,000, the decline will further intensify
On December 24th, CryptoQuant analyst @AxelAdlerJr noted that the **Net Pressure Imbalance indicator**—which measures the buy-sell pressure ratio for short-term holders—has fallen to the 5th percentile of its three-year distribution. This level signals that short-term holders’ buy and sell pressure are currently in balance.
The Net Pressure Imbalance is calculated as the difference between short-term holders’ weighted sell pressure and weighted buy pressure: a positive value means higher current sell pressure, while a negative value signals stronger buy pressure.
