Bitcoin Price Tackles 12-Month Resistance With $5 Billion BTC Options Expiring – July Target $40k?

This encouraged investors to stay put in their positions, with confidence in the market building toward a possible breakout to $35,000 and $40,000, respectively.

Bitcoin Price Outlook

In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin price has seen its value grow by 1.6% to trade at $30,700 as traders usher in the European session on Friday. The uptick in price is not unique to Bitcoin, as Ethereum price is trading 2.1% higher on the day and, as reported in our previous Analysis, is on the brink of closing the gap to $1,900.

The continuation of Bitcoin and other crypto assets’ bullish trends into the weekend is largely contingent on the market’s response to the expiration of June options, a dynamic that will inevitably shape the near-term course of these digital currencies.

Can Bitcoin Price Take On $35k

Bitcoin’s market structure had improved significantly compared to the beginning of June when the crypto industry faced an intensified crackdown by the US securities regulator.

That situation was further worsened by remarks made by Fed Chair Jerome Powell when the reserve bank halted interest rate hikes while emphasizing possible future increments amid the battle to bring inflation to 2%.

Subsequently, crypto fortunes started turning around with a surge in institutional interest in the market. Blackrock filed for a spot BTC ETF with the SEC, which experts believe has a 50% chance of receiving the coveted approval.

In the same month, Fidelity Investments launched a crypto exchange, EDX market, and has filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF. Several other Wall Street firms have also filed with the SEC to offer the spot exchange-traded product, including Cathie Wood.

The largest institutional Bitcoin holder, MicroStrategy, purchased approximately $347 million worth of the BTC mid-this week, which could have a positive ripple effect on the price as it closes the gap to $35,000.

With Bitcoin price trading slightly above $30,700, it means that bulls are ready to tackle resistance between $31,000 and its 12-month high of $31,468. This is the only hurdle barring BTC from closing the gap to $35,000.

Bolstering Bitcoin’s optimistic trajectory is the status of the Money Flow Index (MFI), which is currently in the overbought territory. This index monitors the inflow and outflow of funds from the Bitcoin markets. Given the prevailing influx of funds, it suggests that Bitcoin is optimally positioned for a price surge, potentially reaching not just $35,000 but even extending up to $40,000.

The Pain of Expiring Bitcoin Options

Approximately 159 BTC options worth around $4.8 billion will expire today. This will be the largest mass expiry in months, thanks to the increased investor interest in the derivatives market supported by the spike in ETF filings.

According to Greeks.live, a professional options traders’ arsenal, the options have “a Put/Call Ratio 0.56, a max pain point of $26,500.” This amounts to nearly twice as many call (long) contracts as puts (shorts).

Notably, the “max pain point” denotes the price featuring the highest number of open contracts, and it’s also the price at which the greatest losses would occur upon contract expiration.

While anticipating future market dynamics, Adam Cochran, a partner at Cinneamhain Ventures, believes Bitcoin and the crypto market, in general, would experience some volatility.

“The max pain point on the BTC option expiry tomorrow is $26.5k?! Given how often crypto trends at least towards pain before expiry, it could be a choppy few days…,” Cochran said.

Setup for High-Quality Altcoins Looking Increasingly Favorable As Global Liquidity Gears Up for Expansion: Jamie Coutts

Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts thinks high-quality altcoins could be primed for price surges as global liquidity ramps up. Coutts tells his 18,600 followers on the social media platform X that the market looks close to washed out, global liquidity is about to turn higher and the risk/reward picture looks “increasingly favorable” for high-quality altcoins. “Top 200 Equal Weight vs. market cap weight ratio at extreme bearish levels. Currently, it’s -2.8 standard deviations ~ a bearish extreme that only hit on three previous occasions. • 2021: During a bull market that proved to be an excellent re-up for the cycle. • 2022: prematurely, but close to the cycle lows when the market was 70% down. • 2023: Near the SEC-catalyzed capitulation lows, Alts decisively broke higher four months later. Despite a small sample size, this breadth measure hints at upcoming cyclical bottoms and mid-cycle entries. Current data parallels 2021’s mid-cycle slump, not 2022/23’s end.”
