How to read it. Max pain is the strike where the open calls and puts of one expiry would be worth the least at settlement; it describes where open interest sits and is not a price prediction. The put/call ratio divides put open interest by call open interest, or put 24h volume by call 24h volume. Above 1 puts exceed calls in that measure. Notional is open interest in BTC times the index price. Snapshots every 5 minutes from each exchange's public API; history is hourly. Not financial advice.

Bitcoin options FAQ

What is max pain?

Max pain is the settlement price at which the options open for an expiry would pay out the least to their holders in total. It is a snapshot of where open interest sits, not a price prediction: spot often settles far from it. For each listed strike we add up what every open call and put would be worth at expiry if the price settled there; the strike with the smallest total is max pain.

What is the put/call ratio?

Put open interest divided by call open interest (or put volume divided by call volume over 24 hours). Above 1 more puts are open than calls, which often means hedging or bearish positioning; below 1 calls dominate. It is a positioning gauge, not a signal on its own.

When do Bitcoin options expire?

Bitcoin options on Bybit and Binance expire at 08:00 UTC. Daily options expire every day, weeklies on Fridays, monthlies on the last Friday of the month and quarterlies on the last Friday of March, June, September and December, which is when the most open interest usually expires. The next daily expiry is Sat 14 Nov 2026 08:00 UTC ($453.34M open interest); the next weekly expiry is Fri 20 Nov 2026 08:00 UTC ($331.26M open interest); the next monthly expiry is Fri 27 Nov 2026 08:00 UTC ($828.82M open interest); the next quarterly expiry is Fri 25 Dec 2026 08:00 UTC ($715.95M open interest).

Why can this max pain differ from other sites?

This page covers Bybit and Binance only. Deribit, the largest crypto options exchange, is not included, so the open interest here is part of the market and its max pain can sit at a different strike.
