Bitcoin caught between critical onchain support and an options showdown
Smart Read

Bitcoin is trapped between critical support at $74,500 and resistance near $77,000, with $6.6 billion in Deribit options expiring May 29. Large put positioning at $75,000 and call concentration at $80,000 incentivizes market makers to suppress volatility. Over 15% of bitcoin's supply sits within the $74,000-$83,000 range, creating significant supply compression and limiting price movement for Indian traders monitoring entry points.
