Price keeps circling $85k-$90k like it's magnetically anchored.
There's a reason for that, and it has nothing to do with sentiment or chart patterns.
$BTC is pinned to a critical options level around $88k.
The behavior above and below that line is completely different.
Above it, market makers are structurally forced to sell rallies and buy dips.
Any upward momentum gets capped and price gravitates back to center.
It's mechanical, not discretionary.
Below that level, the dynamic flips.
Selling feeds on itself, volatility expands instead of compressing, and the range stops holding.

This Friday, on Dec 26, over $23.6 BILLION worth of Bitcoin options expire.
That’s the largest options expiry Bitcoin has EVER SEEN.
If you have any money in crypto, you SHOULD NOT ignore this.
Let me explain why it matters:
First, you need to understand what an options expiry actually is.
Options are leveraged bets on price. Calls bet BTC will be higher, and puts bet BTC will be lower.
When they expire, one of two things happens:
– They expire worthless
– Or they force hedging, buying, or selling in the spot market
With $23.6B rolling off at once, a huge amount of risk comes off dealer books

I’ve just updated to Gate v8.0.5 and wanted to share my authentic feedback.
The feature that surprised me the most is the improved market data refresh speed — charts load noticeably faster, and real-time updates feel much smoother.
My favorite improvement is the revamped UI/UX in the trading section. The layout is cleaner, buttons are more intuitive, and navigating between wallets, spot, and futures is seamless now.
The updated Gate Square also feels more engaging — content loads quicker, and the social interaction features are a nice touch for community vibes.
Overall rating: 85/100
My sugges

$SOL is moving down!
If you took a scalp short, lock in some profits along the way, nobody ever went broke taking profits.
For swing shorts, I expect Solana to drop below $100 in the next few weeks.

buy EVERY fuckin dip!!!
