Bitcoin's $20,000 put options have become the third most popular strike price ahead of Deribit's quarterly options expiry, with a notional value of approximately $5.96 billion. This reflects traders' positioning for potential extreme downside scenarios amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The total notional value of the expiry is $13.5 billion, with open interest comprising 120,236 BTC in call contracts and 75,482 BTC in put contracts. Despite the market's extreme fear, the put/call ratio remains at 0.63, indicating a slight bullish bias with more call options than put options. The maximum pain point is at $75,000, suggesting potential price movement towards this level before expiration. The significant volume of $20,000 put options likely reflects a strategy to collect premiums rather than a direct hedge against a market crash.
