The core logic of options settlement lies in the last half hour. The settlement prices for BTC and ETH are not single transaction prices but are determined by the weighted average price during the period from 3:30 to 4:00. In other words, every trade within these 30 minutes influences the final settlement price—trading periods with higher volume carry more weight. Because of this, this time window often becomes the final battleground for market participants, everyone wants to hold the pricing power at this critical moment. Traders who understand this truly grasp the rules of the options game.

Oh my, this half-hour has truly been a test of luck and skill; to put it simply, it's about who acts faster and has more money.

Oh, the last half hour is the real battlefield. I didn't understand this before.

The period from 3:30 to 4:00 is basically a meat grinder... No wonder it always crashes at that time.
---
Weighted average price? If I had known this, I wouldn't have been cut so badly.
---
Basically, it's about who has more chips in hand. Retail investors are doomed to be the sidecar.
---
Wait, isn't manipulating the price like this... Forget it, I'm too bad at this.
---
People who understand this have already made a fortune in that 30 minutes. I'm still watching the K-line.
---
That's why you see strange pump-and-dump actions every time during settlement. Now I get it.
---
No wonder the trading volume suddenly explodes at that time. I thought it was real demand, haha.
---
To be honest, very few people understand this logic. Most are just guessing blindly.

The last half hour is when the big players truly perform.

Wow, that's why I have to keep an eye on the market every day at 3:30. Turns out everything is settled within this half hour.

Wow, so this half-hour is the real moment of life and death. I was doing it all wrong before.
