Option expiries occur when open options contracts reach their expiration time, forcing traders to either close, roll over, or let positions expire. While we can’t know the exact positioning behind each option (buy or sell), large expiries — typically above $600 million — often act like price magnets, attracting market attention and influencing short-term price behavior.
You’ll learn:
• What option expiries are and how they function
• Why large expiries can impact market movement
• How to plan trades around major expiry levels
• Why option data should support, not drive, your trading decisions
While not an exact science, understanding these expiries can help traders better anticipate potential price pauses or volatility near key levels — a subtle but useful edge in day-to-day trading.
