Over $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts are set to expire, potentially pushing prices higher over the weekend. Bitcoin remains below the $100,000 level due to macroeconomic events. The expiration of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts could lead to price volatility. The put-to-call ratio indicates optimism in the market, with more traders betting on price increases. Implied volatility has fallen to its lowest level in almost a year. Analysts suggest that institutions view February as a period of low market activity that could impact trading volumes and prices. BTC and ETH prices may rise as smart money moves them towards the "max pain" level, where the highest number of contracts expire worthless.
