Bitcoin hits an “options wall” at $80,000

The price of the leading cryptocurrency faced resistance around the $80,000 level. According to Bloomberg, the rise is being constrained by market positioning on the Deribit exchange.

Call options with May and June expiries totaling $1.5 billion are concentrated near the $80,000 level. In such a situation, market makers are forced to sell the asset as the price rises in order to hedge risks. Additional pressure on the price came from profit-taking and slowing demand in the spot market.

At the time of writing, the digital gold is trading at $75,785 (-1.7% over 24 hours).

Five years with Bitcoin: return statistics

Analysts at Delphi Digital examined the historical returns of the leading cryptocurrency. They calculated outcomes for all possible five-year holding periods since May 2016.

The worst time to enter Bitcoin was buying at the cycle peak in December 2017. Selling five years later — near the lows of 2022 — resulted in a 13% loss. This is the worst-case scenario in the entire observed history.

The median five-year return for the digital asset exceeded 800%. For comparison, Ethereum’s figure reached 1200%.

Over long time horizons, crypto assets have delivered high returns at almost any entry point. Sensitivity to the purchase price remains only over shorter periods.

It is worth noting that on April 29, Bitcoin and many other crypto assets declined following the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged. If elevated oil prices persist, expectations regarding future liquidity conditions may come under pressure again.
