New reasons for investing in Bitcoin arose as the United States struggled with a banking crisis, but noshitcoins says BTC bulls may have overplayed their hand in this week’s options expiry.

Bitcoin's 43% rally between March 10 and March 20 surprised options traders and this is proven by the minimal14% of the $1.12 billion open interest set to expire on April 7 being placed at $28,000 and higher.

Investors' appetite for commodities vastly increased after the U.S. Treasury Department reportedly discussed the possibility of expanding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance for bank deposits on March 21. Oil prices measured by the WTI have rallied 23.5% since March 20, and gold broke above $2,000 on April 5 — its highest daily close since Aug. 2020.

For instance, if Bitcoin's price remains near $28,100 on April 7 at 8:00 a.m. UTC, there will be only $125 million in call options. This distinction arises since the right to buy Bitcoin at $29,000 or $30,000 is rendered void if BTC trades below that on the expiry.Bulls and bears have similar incentives, so the outcome is unpredictable
