The crypto market is under close watch as traders prepare for Friday\u2019s $22 billion Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiry. With just a few days left in this bearish September, bears are calling for another possible drop to $107K before October, which has historically been a more bullish month for BTC. The main question is whether the recent downturn has run its course, or if more volatility is still ahead. For investors, finding the best crypto to buy during this uncertain phase is a key focus.<\/p>\n

$21 BILLION WORTH OF $BTC<\/a> AND $ETH<\/a> OPTIONS WILL EXPIRE TODAY.<\/p>\n EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY! pic.twitter.com\/FbkITm1V06<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Max Crypto (@MaxCryptoxx) September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Bitcoin BTC \u25bc-2.15%<\/span><\/a><\/span> is currently priced around $109,426, while Ethereum ETH \u25bc-2.48%<\/span><\/a><\/span> trades near $3,922.

A decisive move above $4000 or below $3800 would create momentum, but staying in the middle benefits the option sellers most.<\/p>\n (Source:\u00a0Deribit<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n Data shows that if BTC closes below $110,000, sellers could gain a $1 billion advantage from expiring put options.
