BTC--
Bitcoin is stuck between $85K and $90K due to options market mechanics. Dealer gamma exposure suppresses volatility through mechanical hedging flows, pinning the price in a tight range. The gamma flip level is around $88K, and the $90K ceiling has repeatedly failed due to concentrated call option positioning. $85K serves as reliable support through forced demand from heavy put option positioning. Futures liquidation heatmap data reinforces the range, with significant short and long liquidation levels clustered around the same price levels. The options-driven range is set to expire on December 26.
