Crypto markets have lost about $215 billion this week. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates at 3.5–3.75%, well above the 2% target, adding pressure to markets. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have also reignited, increasing investor anxiety.

Bitcoin Options Expiry

This week’s large Bitcoin options batch shows a 0.54 put/call ratio, meaning calls (longs) exceed puts (shorts). According to Coinglass, the “max pain” level is around $90,000, above current spot prices, leaving many contracts out of the money at expiry.

The highest open interest (OI) is at $100,000, with roughly $1.9 billion of options on Deribit. Additionally, over $1 billion in OI exists at $75,000, $80,000, and $85,000, showing growing bearish bets.

Total Bitcoin options OI across all exchanges has been rising since the start of the year, reaching $58 billion. Deribit warns that “expiry could amplify moves around key max pain zones,” which aligns with recent spot market declines. Ethereum also faces 440,000 expiring contracts, valued at $1.3 billion, max pain at $3,100, and a 0.74 put/call ratio. Total ETH options OI across exchanges is around $35 billion.

In total, crypto options expiries this week reach $9.6 billion in notional value.

Spot Market Outlook

Crypto markets tumbled during Friday morning’s Asia session, with total capitalization dropping below $3 trillion, the lowest since mid-December. Bitcoin broke support, falling 8% to $81,300, the lowest since April, while Ether dropped 9% to around $2,700. Altcoins saw double-digit losses, confirming a bear market trend.

Analysts note that the options expiry could increase volatility in spot markets, especially near max pain levels, potentially triggering sharp sell-offs.

The post Bitcoin Options: $8.3B Expiry Pressure Hits Market appeared first on Coin Engineer.

WLFI token launched on September 1, 2025, and saw strong demand. Its first-day ATH reached $0.46. Soon after, the price dropped to $0.23. Today, WLFI hit $0.1794, its all-time low, with a market cap around $4.49 billion. 

The decline followed heavy whale sales and pre-sale unlocks. Large wallets and pre-sale participants sold tokens in bulk. This created selling pressure among investors. Analysts note the token fell around 60% from its peak. 

Pre-Sales and Whale Movements 

Bubblemaps reports over 85,000 wallets participated in the WLFI pre-sale. Among them: 29% sold all tokens, 10% sold partially, and 60% still hold. These movements added downward pressure on the price. 

Experts point out that 20% of WLFI supply unlocked at launch triggered significant selling waves. Major whales like 0xC3e7 and 0x7ed4 dumped tokens, impacting the market further. 

World Liberty Financial team burned 47 million tokens, equivalent to 0.19% of circulating supply, attempting to stabilize the market. Despite this, the price continued to slide. 

Political criticism and conflict-of-interest concerns also weakened investor confidence. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren called the token activity “blatant corruption”, intensifying downward pressure.

Investor Outlook and Future 

Investors watch the $0.20–$0.22 support level closely. Some believe recovery is possible if selling pressure eases. However, TRUMP token’s struggles raise doubts about WLFI’s rebound. 

Upcoming macroeconomic developments and buyback plans will influence WLFI’s next moves. Currently, investors act cautiously and avoid FOMO trades. Analysts emphasize pre-sale and whale activity will continue to affect prices.

Gate.io announced the presale of Pump.fun’s PUMP token with a $600 million target set for July 12. However, all announcements were quickly removed. Meanwhile, Bit Digital (BTBT) sold all of its Bitcoin holdings and shifted its treasury entirely to Ethereum. The company now holds 100,603 ETH worth $254.8 million, making it one of the largest publicly listed ETH holders. 

Market Cap and Technical Levels in Motion 

The total market cap dropped by $20 billion in the past day, falling to $3.30 trillion. Since July 3, TOTAL has been trading within a narrow range between $3.35 trillion resistance and $3.27 trillion support. This reflects uncertainty among market participants. 

If buying momentum strengthens, the $3.35 trillion resistance could be broken, potentially pushing the market cap to $3.44 trillion. However, this scenario requires a notable increase in buying activity. Conversely, if selling pressure rises, TOTAL may fall below the support level to $3.22 trillion, leading to broader market losses. 

Trump’s Tariffs and Market Impact 

Bitcoin price declined 1% today to $108,206. Interestingly, daily trading volume rose by 15% to $44 billion, indicating rising sell pressure in the market. A falling price coupled with increasing volume suggests panic selling by investors. 

On July 7, U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters announcing new tariffs between 25% and 40% to 14 countries. Initial letters were sent to South Korea and Japan, followed by similar messages to 12 more countries, including Tunisia, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Bosnia, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, and South Africa. Trump emphasized concerns over trade deficits and warned of additional tariffs if retaliation occurred. 

Economist Peter Schiff described Trump’s action as a fundamental misunderstanding of trade. According to Google Finance, crypto-related stocks like MicroStrategy and Robinhood declined, with Bitcoin mining stocks suffering even greater losses. 

The tariffs also affected U.S. stock markets. CNN data showed the Dow Jones fell by 422 points, the S&P 500 by nearly 50 points, and NASDAQ by 189 points—indicating a correlation between market volatility and tariff news. 

In the past, the U.S.–China trade war had pushed Bitcoin below $80,000. The new tariffs are expected to take effect on August 1. In addition, reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut further reinforce the downward trend.

Now, all eyes are on the next potential support. According to technical indicators, the 2.13$ level stands as a key support zone, having previously acted as a strong base where buyers stepped in. If the current downward momentum continues, this level will be a crucial test for ZRO bulls.

A Break Below 2.13$ Could Target FVG Region

Should the 2.13$ support fail to hold, the next zone to watch lies at the lower bounds of the bullish FVG (Fair Value Gap) region. This area represents zones of previous heavy buying and could offer a reaction or temporary relief.

ZRO’s price trajectory remains closely tied to broader market trends. Movements in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) will likely influence its direction. For investors, this is a time to closely manage risk, monitor key levels, and adjust strategies based on confirmed price actions.
