How to read it
- Max pain is the settlement price at which option holders together would collect the least. It is arithmetic on open interest, not a target. Max pain explained.
- Expected move is what option prices imply from at-the-money implied volatility (32.4 %). About two in three priced outcomes fall inside it. It is not a forecast.
- Large strikes are where positions sit, not orders in the book. Call wall and put wall and how dealers hedge explain what they can and cannot tell you.
- BTC options on these venues settle at 08:00 UTC. Same-day options and their hedges disappear at settlement.
