Update on Tomorrow's Options Expiration: Max pain for May 28 expirations is 50k, while May 29 expirations (much smaller) is 41k. Often (not always) prices will move towards max pain, which would mean that BTC could rally tomorrow.
A 25% rally from 40k to 50k appears unlikely, but not impossible. A rally of some sort does seem plausible.
The key question is whether a BTC lifts the broader crypto market or draws capital away from altcoins. This is not clear.
Finally, it looks like the options are modest at 1.9B - much lower than 6.5B of other expirations. Thus, the price action may be limited.
A BTC rally that lifts ADA could lead to ADA testing 2.00 and further reducing the chances of consolidation in coming days. It is best to prepared for a rally but also know that tomorrow's BTC price action is unclear.
