The crypto market is preparing for increased volatility as $1.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts expire. This coincides with the Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points. The expiring contracts have different put-to-call ratios and maximum pain points, indicating potential market sentiment and potential losses for option holders. Analysts expect future rate cuts and the upcoming US election to contribute to heightened market volatility. Following the rate cut, Bitcoin and Ethereum saw significant increases in price, but both assets have since stabilized. Traders are advised to exercise caution during this period of potential short-term instability.
