The more I study, the more I realize how little I know. Options have a much greater influence on short-term market pricing than spot and futures contracts. On 6/26, the options value is $8.8 billion, with the max pain point at $78,000. It's very likely that the main players will keep BTC's price around this level. No need to look at the max pain prices for September and December— those are basically the highest rebound points, which are practically hard to reach. The $74 on 5/29 and $78 on 6/26 are still quite reference-worthy. $BTC   $ETH   Bitcoin   $XAU   Gold   US Stocks
