There's a huge $14 billion bitcoin options expiry this Friday and it points to $75,000 as price magnet

Bitcoin options worth billions of dollars will expire on Deribit this Friday at 8:00 UTC. What to know : Bitcoin options worth about $14.16 billion, or nearly 40 percent of open interest on Deribit, are set to expire Friday, focusing attention on how the event could sway prices. The "max pain" level for this expiry is around $75,000, which Deribit says may act as a price magnet as market makers hedge and large option writers try to minimize payouts.
