<p>The max paint point is the price where most options become worthless. As the expiry date approaches closer, the market moves in a direction gravitating towards these levels. As a result, investors/traders are keeping a close watch on whether BTC and ETH prices with their respective max pain prices.</p>

<p>Following the 15% correction from its all-time high levels, Bitcoin seems to be showing signs of bottom formation. Excess leverage seems to have flushed out as open interest declines and funding rates drop ahead of the Bitcoin options expiry, reports CryptoQuant. All eyes will be on the crucial US economic data and the macro developments going ahead.</p>
