This represents a total value of over $2.7 billion.<\/em>\u201d He also mentioned that the total value of options expiring on Friday exceeds $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The simultaneous expiration of index futures, index options, stock options, and futures contracts at the end of each quarter triggers the event known as &#8216;quadruple witching&#8217;. This event typically leads to increased volatility and trading volume. The fact that a large portion of open <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> positions on <strong>Deribit<\/strong> are in-the-money indicates a potential for significant trading activity as these contracts approach expiry.<\/p>\n<p>Strijers observed a short-term bearish trend in the distribution of <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> open positions and added, \u201c<em>Looking at the skew in options, a positive shift for Bitcoin is expected by July 1<\/em>2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, <strong>Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange<\/strong>, noted that market participants have mostly rolled over their June futures contracts into July, maintaining their open positions and thus avoiding expiry. Dunn said, \u201c<em>This could indicate that traders are continuing to capitalize on higher prices further along the curve to lock in the basis. Typically, traders close these positions when the opportunity to capture higher future prices diminishes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinengineernews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here to get the latest news from Coin Engineer!<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitcoin derivatives market is bracing for increased volatility due to the quarterly options expiring on Friday.
