#数字资产市场动态 Big event coming — today’s $23 billion year-end options settlement, stay tuned.

At 4:00 PM, the largest settlement day kicks off. This scale is quite rare in the crypto market.

Looking back at the rhythm over the past three months, it’s quite interesting:

**September Settlement** ($18 billion): After Friday’s settlement, the weekend was dead quiet, then suddenly a fierce rally early Monday morning. $BTC shot from 108k directly to 126k.

**October Settlement** ($13 billion): Same script, settlement on Friday, no movement over the weekend, then a reversal and sell-off early Monday. Unable to hold 110k, it dropped straight to 100k.

**November Settlement** ($13 billion): Still the same pattern, settlement on Friday, continued silence over the weekend, then a downward plunge again on Monday. From 91k down to 84k.

See the pattern? Weekends are often a buffer period, and the real market moves only show on Monday (this time the 29th). $ETH and $BNB tend to follow suit.

The short-term focus is on two key levels: 85k and 90k. Which of these thresholds is truly broken will give a good indication of the upcoming bullish or bearish trend. With this $23 billion volume on the table, the moves should be more pronounced than in previous months.

BTC-0,18%

ETH-0,6%

BNB-0,63%

Monday early morning is the real showtime; the weekend right now is all fake.

See the truth on Monday early morning. Whether this wave of 23 billion can break through depends on these two days. We already have a sense of whether 85k or 90k will drop first.
