BiyaPay Analyst: This Friday's "Triple Witching" leads to concentrated expiration, increasing the risk of volatility in the US stock market

BlockBeats News, December 19 — This Friday, U.S. stocks will experience the quarterly “Triple Witching” (concurrent expiration of stock index futures, stock index options, and individual stock options). Several institutions have indicated that the nominal scale of expiring contracts is at a historical high, which may amplify trading volume and volatility in the market, especially near key levels where sudden surges or drops are more likely to occur. BiyaPay analysts believe that the volatility during these “consolidated expiration days” mainly results from position migrations and hedging adjustments. Short-term opportunities and risks are both amplified, so it is advisable to control positions, reduce chasing prices, and prioritize staggered trading and stop-loss protections. BiyaPay analysts also remind participants: if engaging in contract or options trading, it is recommended to check margin levels and order prices in advance to avoid slippage and liquidation risks. BiyaPay supports USDT trading for U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, futures, and also supports spot and contract trading of digital currencies (contract maker fee is 0).
