JUST IN: Bitcoin Implied Volatility Hits Multi-Year Low Ahead of $5.2 Billion Friday Expiry.
The market has gone dangerously silent at $91,850. This isn't a lack of interest; it is a textbook "dealer pin." With a massive monthly options expiry due tomorrow (Friday), market makers are actively suppressing price action to crush premium values, keeping Bitcoin locked in a tight range.
This matters because the compression is artificial.
Once these contracts settle, the "gamma clamp" holding the price down will release. On-chain data shows that while price is flat, Open Interest (OI) is climbing, creating a "coiled spring" effect. Smart money is using this suppressed volatility to accumulate spot positions cheaply before the inevitable expansion.
Traders should ignore the boredom. When the Bollinger Bands tighten this much, a violent directional move likely targeting the $94,000 liquidity pool typically follows within 48 hours.
