Bitcoin traders prepare for $16B options expiry this Friday

Bitcoin is bracing for a massive reality check this Friday as $16 billion in options expire. While the price currently hovers around $83,838, the "max pain" point—where the most traders lose money—sits significantly lower at $75,000. This suggests a brutal $9,000 correction could be imminent as the market gravitates toward maximum liquidations. Is the bullish sentiment just a trap for a major price collapse? Will max pain win again, or is the market too strong to fail? What’s your take?
