<p>As the expiration of cryptocurrency options approaches, significant figures emerge in the market landscape. A total of 19,000 Bitcoin (BTC) options, valued at a notional value of $2 billion, are set to expire with a combined notional value of $790 million. The Put Call Ratio stands at 1.49 for BTC options while the Maxpain point is indicated at $55,000 for BTC.</p>

<p>Driving the bullish sentiment in the spot market is the <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-notes-largest-net-inflow-677-million-on-supply-shock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a>, which has experienced remarkable gains this week. However, despite modest rises inBitcoin options volume and positions, buyers are increasingly adopting spot-protected strategies, contributing to a robust market structure. Bitcoin now commands over 50% of the total cryptocurrency market share, while attention is expected to shift towards Ethereum as the bull market progresses, reports <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/GreeksLive/status/1763409297181126833" target="_blank">Greeks.Live</a>.</p>

<p>According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, there’s been a notable surge in profit-taking among Bitcoin whales. Over the last three days, they’ve offloaded over 80,000 BTC, equivalent to about $4.8 billion. Investors and traders should exercise caution in light of this development.</p>
