🚨 BITCOIN ISN’T BROKEN - IT’S JUST BEING HELD STILL

If you’ve been staring at the chart wondering why Bitcoin feels stuck between $85k and $95k,
while everything else seems to be moving…

You’re not imagining it.
And it’s not because buyers disappeared.

It’s because Bitcoin is being held in place.

And that hold has an expiration date — 4 days.

What’s really going on (no jargon first):

Bitcoin is caught in a huge options setup.

There’s a massive concentration of options expiring on January 30 far bigger than any other date.

Because of that, market makers are forced into a very specific behavior.

When price starts to rise, they sell.
When price starts to fall, they buy.

Not out of opinion.
Out of obligation.

That’s why:

rallies feel like they hit a wall

dips get bought instantly

It’s not weak demand.
It’s mechanical pressure.

Why this matters so much:

As we get closer to January 30, that pressure slowly fades.

When those options finally expire,
the hedges disappear.

And suddenly, there’s nothing holding price in that tight range.

We go from a market that’s pinned
to one that’s free to move.

And when that kind of restraint is removed,
price usually doesn’t drift.

It moves fast.

I’m not telling you which direction yet.
I’m telling you when the rules change.

I’ve seen this pattern many times over the years.

Markets can feel boring…right up until the moment they aren’t.

I’ll share an update once the expiration passes.

Just don’t confuse stillness with weakness.
