Market Uncertainty Persists: Options Expiry and Trump’s Tariff Shifts Fuel Anxiety

According to Greeks.live analyst Adam, market uncertainty persists as April 11th options expiry data revealed a significant impact on both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). 28,000 BTC options expired with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.88, highlighting a maximum pain point of $81,500 and a nominal value of $2.26 billion. Similarly, 184,000 ETH options expired with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.92, reaching a maximum pain point at $1,700 and a nominal value of $280 million. U.S. President Donald Trump’s frequent changes in tariff policies have exacerbated this market anxiety, contributing to heightened risk-averse behavior. These shifts in policy are expected to persist, leading to prolonged market uncertainty and volatility.
