Market data platform Deribit shows that as Bitcoin continues to decline in June, the options market set to expire this month has experienced a significant imbalance, with approximately $8.6 billion nominal value of BTC options in an out-of-the-money (OTM) state, facing the risk of expiring worthless.Data indicates that among the approximately $10.6 billion in open options contracts expiring on June 26, only about 20% are in-the-money (ITM), while the remaining 80% are currently at a loss. Analysts point out that this structural imbalance may trigger concentrated hedging adjustments by market makers and traders before expiration, thereby amplifying short-term market volatility.The current maximum pain price is approximately $74,000, which is about 14% higher than Bitcoin's current price of around $65,000. Theoretically, this price level means that the maximum number of options contracts will expire worthless, potentially creating an upward pull on prices as expiration approaches, although the effectiveness of this mechanism in the crypto market remains controversial.Additionally, the bullish and bearish structures in the options market are relatively close, with a Put/Call ratio of about 0.87, indicating increased divergence in market sentiment. Approximately $450 million in positions are concentrated in $60,000 put options, while $80,000 call options also form a key resistance level of about $406 million.Analysts believe that as the quarterly expiration approaches, concentrated exercising and hedging adjustments may become important driving factors for short-term price volatility, and Bitcoin may face a more intense directional choice window.

Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock, stated that after the U.S. and Iran reached a peace arrangement, approximately $8 trillion to $9 trillion in funds sitting in money market funds are accelerating their return to risk assets, and he mentioned that this process could have an "explosive" effect. Driven by the return of funds, U.S. stocks and U.S. bonds rose simultaneously on Monday, while oil prices fell due to expectations of a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.Rieder believes that current liquidity is spreading from low-risk instruments to a broader range of assets, and he expects that the new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh may pay more attention to balance sheet and money supply management, rather than solely relying on short-term interest rate tools. Meanwhile, the derivatives market is set to face a busy event window. Due to the June holiday market closure, this week's "Triple Witching" has been moved up to Thursday, combined with the quarterly rebalancing of the S&P 500, increasing volatility risk in U.S. stocks. Additionally, options related to SpaceX are expected to begin trading on Tuesday. Market participants believe that driven by retail investor funds, related contracts may heat up quickly, potentially leading to a "gamma squeeze" triggered by concentrated buying of call options.Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma, warned that against the backdrop of a continuous rise in U.S. stocks since April, the pressure on market makers to hedge is accumulating. If Warsh releases signals that exceed expectations during his first press conference, the market has almost no buffer space to absorb the shock. The quarterly adjustments to the S&P 500 index will also take effect after the close on Thursday, with Marvell Technology (MRVL) and Flex (FLEX) being added to the index, while Pool (POOL) and Campbell's (CPB) will be removed.

According to Bloomberg, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is considering whether to block the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME) from launching an application for around-the-clock crude oil contracts. A senior CFTC official stated that continuous trading may not be suitable for crude oil, as it could exacerbate already extreme volatility during periods of geopolitical tension. CME announced last Thursday plans to launch crude oil and gold futures contracts that would be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which surprised the CFTC. The new crude oil contract will be one-tenth the size of the existing micro WTI futures contract and is scheduled to go live on August 30, pending regulatory review. A week ago, the CEO of CME expressed "serious concerns" to the CFTC about clearing the way for cryptocurrency perpetual contracts. The CFTC stated it would evaluate perpetual contract applications on a case-by-case basis, noting that certain assets may not be suitable for this product.

According to Jinshi reports, Guotai Junan's research report points out that the non-farm data in May continued to exceed expectations, signaling a stabilization and recovery in the U.S. job market, which catalyzed market expectations for interest rate hikes and led to significant adjustments in asset prices. The U.S. dollar strengthened, U.S. Treasury rates surged, U.S. stocks fell sharply, and gold weakened. Guotai Junan believes that there are still differences within the Federal Reserve, and there may not be an interest rate hike within the year, but the market in June may be affected by liquidity shocks, and U.S. stocks may face at least one to two months of volatility.
