Friday’s “Quad Witching” Will Trigger The Next Big Move
The post Friday’s “Quad Witching” Will Trigger The Next Big Move appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is showing significant volatility heading into Wednesday’s FOMC. However, experts point out that the Federal Reserve is highly likely to proceed with a 25-basis-point rate cut, a decision that is already priced in. While Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s post-FOMC remarks could move markets, smart money investors are paying even closer attention to Friday’s quad witching, a quarterly event with major repercussions for stocks and, by extension, crypto. Quadruple witching occurs when four types of derivatives expire simultaneously: stock index futures, stock index options, single-stock options, and single-stock futures.

This would also provide the ideal backdrop for BTC ecosystem coins like Bitcoin Hyper to rally, which many are calling the next 100x crypto. What Is Quad Witching And Why Does It Affect Crypto Prices? Quad witching is a quarterly market event that takes place on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, when four major types of derivatives expire at the same time: stock index futures, stock index options, single-stock options, and single-stock futures. Because so many contracts settle simultaneously, quad witching is often marked by a surge in trading volume and heightened volatility. Large funds, institutions, and market makers are forced to close, roll over, or hedge massive positions, which can push stock prices around in ways that don’t always align with fundamentals.
