According to BlockBeats, crypto analyst Murphy has highlighted a significant Gamma exposure of approximately $180 million near the $74,000 mark, set to expire on March 20. This Long Gamma structure typically leads market makers to hedge in a way that suppresses volatility, causing prices to fluctuate around this strike price, creating resistance near $74,000.
However, after March 20, leading up to the next major expiration date on March 27, there is a noticeable shift in the options structure. The Call open interest significantly exceeds the Put, indicating substantial market bets on Bitcoin moving towards $75,000.
Murphy suggests that post-March 20, the options structure will shift focus to $75,000, transitioning from volatility suppression to amplification. This could create resistance as Bitcoin approaches $80,000 and support within the $65,000-$67,000 range.
