Here is what you need to know on Wednesday 23, September
BTC/USD is trading at $10,500 after a small bounce from yesterday’s crash, however, it seems that the daily chart could be forming a bear flag.
ETH/USD is doing something similar at $343 waiting for a bigger bounce as the market sentiment turns to fear.
XRP/USD is staying above $0.23 which is a significant support level. A breakout of this level would most likely take XRP down to $0.20

Market
The market will be volatile this week as a massive number of Bitcoin and ETH options are set to expire on Friday. Deribit, which has 77% of this volume, as it is the biggest derivatives exchange, also has around 414,000 ETH options, which is 90% of the total 459,000 ETH options across all platforms including CME, Okex or Ledgerx.
Usually, an expiry of a large number of options means a spike in volatility. It’s unclear if the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum will go up or down as sometimes even the volatility doesn’t really change.
