# Explosive Moment! BTC Options Expiration Meets Key Price Level, Baiyue's Urgent Analysis: Buy or Sell Now?

The market dropped another bombshell today, and I couldn't sit still when I saw it. Let me break this down for you right away. BTC price is hovering around 75140 USD right now, but don't rush—combined with the latest developments and technical charts, I'll give you a clear breakdown that's easy to understand!

## News Front: Options Expiration Incoming, Price Stuck at "Maximum Pain Point"

Just today, Deribit released data: next Friday marks the quarterly options expiration date, and this time the market's largest options position expires simultaneously. What's a "maximum pain point"? Simply put, it's the price level that makes the most options buyers lose money. This time, BTC's maximum pain point is set at 75,000 USD—coincidence? The current price is exactly at 75140 USD, almost perfectly aligned. Same story with ETH—pain point at 2,350 USD, price also at 2,350 USD.

Feng Shuai believes this is no coincidence. Based on historical experience, options expiration often triggers price volatility. With price now stuck at the pain point, the market might be building up momentum—either to break upward or test downward. But don't panic; this isn't necessarily bad news. In fact, it could be a signal before a major reversal!

## Technical Analysis: 4-Hour Chart Shows Strong Bullish Momentum, Key Levels Fully Explained

Looking at BTC's 4-hour chart makes things even more exciting! The current price has surged to 75,805.6 USD with a 1.28% gain, and there are signs of volume expansion. I've marked the lines: resistance at 79,000, rebound resistance at 77,000, key level at 74,600, pullback support at 72,300, and bottom support at 70,000.

In my view, both moving averages (the yellow and white lines) are positioned above the 0 axis and lifting upward, clearly showing bullish momentum dominance! From the price action, holding above the key level of 74,600 indicates positive market sentiment, and testing 79,000 in the short term isn't out of the question.

## Trading Suggestions: Here's How Retail Traders Should Act and Stay Alert Going Forward

Retail traders, listen to Baiyue's advice: don't panic and don't get greedy! The current trend looks bullish, but we need to operate methodically.

If you're conservative, you can position gradually on dips—for example, waiting for price to pull back to the 74,600 or 72,300 support levels before considering entry, scaling in gradually to average down risk.

If you're aggressive, light positions following the trend is fine too, but make sure to set stops properly, such as below 72,300, to guard against unexpected crashes.

## My View: Bullish Short-Term, But Stay Steady

Putting news and technicals together, I believe the overall market bias is bullish. Why? First, while options expiration may bring volatility, areas near maximum pain points are often "accumulation zones"—with price not breaking support and actually showing upside momentum. Second, the technical bullish trend is solid with good price-volume alignment. However, we can't be blindly optimistic; markets always have variables, especially around major events like this where volatility may intensify. But overall, I believe BTC has upside potential in the short term, even potentially testing the 77,000-79,000 resistance zone. $BTC
