Based on BitJie, the total value of Bitcoin options set to expire on December 26, 2025, is $23.7 billion, with 300,000 BTC and 446,000 IBIT options contracts. Analysts expect a 5%-7% price swing due to year-end options expiration. QCP Capital noted reduced liquidity as traders close positions before the holiday. The max pain point is at $95,000, with concentrated strike prices at $100,000 and $85,000. Analysts suggest Bitcoin may dip to $82,000–$84,000 before rebounding to $95,000. Tax-loss harvesting before the December 31 deadline may amplify short-term volatility.
