The post The Level Indicated by Option Data Following the Surge in Bitcoin Has Been Determined appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyst Omkar Godbole noted that Bitcoin’s current potential resistance level is above $126,000, and the dynamics in the options market indicated that the $135,000 and $140,000 levels could be critical in the next phase. According to Deribit platform data, call options with a strike price of $140,000 are the second most popular option on the exchange and carry over $2 billion in open interest. This suggests that many investors expect the spot price to approach or exceed this level, according to analysts. However, the concentration of hedging and trading activity in this area could create resistance that could make it difficult for the price to break through. “Bitcoin is trading in uncharted territory near all-time highs. Investors are focusing on key levels that could determine the direction going forward,” Godbole said. According to the analyst, three main levels stand out to watch: $126,100: This represents the upper boundary of the expansion pattern that has been forming since mid-July. A reversal from this level could cause the price to pull back toward the lower boundary of the pattern. $135,000: Market makers have a net long gamma position at this level. This can reduce volatility by increasing the tendency to sell as the price rises and to buy as the price falls. Therefore, $135,000 could act as a resistance level on upward moves. $140,000: The second-most popular call option level, according to Deribit data, could have a magnetic effect due to its high open interest. However, hedging efforts by large institutions to keep the price below this level could make it more difficult to break out. While Bitcoin is currently trading near record levels, this intensity in the options market has investors eyeing the $135,000-$140,000 range. *This is not investment advice.

PANews reported on September 18th that in response to the discussion about the waiting time for staking, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said: "Staking means taking on the solemn responsibility of defending the blockchain. Exit resistance is part of the protocol. This is not to say that the current staking queue design is optimal, but to say that if the relevant parameter settings are naively reduced, the credibility of the chain will be greatly reduced from the perspective of those nodes that are not often online." Data from the validatorqueue website shows that as of now, the number of ETH in the Ethereum PoS network exit queue is 2,496,141, with a waiting time of approximately 43 days and 8 hours. During the same period, the number of ETH waiting to be activated is 464,626, with an estimated activation delay of approximately 8 days and 2 hours.
