AI take
The scale of Friday's Deribit expiry matters less for the notional figure than for the max pain levels, which sit well away from where the put/call ratios suggest positioning is clustered. The low BTC ratio implies call-heavy books, so the settlement could amplify moves if price is pinned near the strike. Whether the expiry passes as a liquidity event or a volatility catalyst is the open question, and ETH's higher put/call ratio points to a more defensive stance heading into it.
