The combined notional value of over $7.7 billion at expiry for both these leading assets marks one of the largest since past few months.&nbsp;
Following the recent rate cut decision from the US Federal Reserve, Bitcoin price and the whole cryptocurrency market witnessed a wave of uptrend with BTC breaking $65,000 – up over 9% since the rate cut announcement.&nbsp;
The options expiry today could bring massive volatility in Bitcoin and Ethereum market prices with potentially being pulled around the max pain levels. While such huge amount of options are on the edge to expire, market players would probably try to fluctuate prices to minimize their loss or maximize profits.&nbsp;
Besides, we are also approaching the weekend which could make market recovery tedious or extend the downtrading even furthermore in case of a sudden dump. All said, now we have to see how the market reacts to this tense event with billions involved.&nbsp;
