Bitcoin Surges Past $65,000, Driven by Options Market

在期权市场的推动下，比特币飙升至 65,000 美元以上

Bitcoin price has breached the $65,000 mark for the first time in a month, reaching $65,687 on Thursday, representing a 3.7% gain. This surge coincides with the impending expiration of over $5.8 billion in options contracts, which analysts believe could introduce further volatility in the market.

比特币价格一个月来首次突破 65,000 美元大关，周四达到 65,687 美元，涨幅为 3.7%。此次飙升恰逢超过 58 亿美元的期权合约即将到期，分析师认为这可能会导致市场进一步波动。

Chris Newhouse, research director at Cumberland Labs, highlights the significance of $65,000 as a resistance level in August and September. "We're testing it again," he notes, adding that a breakout above this level could trigger a rally, while a breakdown below $65,000 may lead to a sell-off.

Cumberland Labs 研究总监 Chris Newhouse 强调了 65,000 美元作为 8 月和 9 月阻力位的重要性。 “我们正在再次测试它，”他指出，并补充说，突破该水平可能会引发反弹，而跌破 65,000 美元可能会导致抛售。

Vertex 首席执行官 Darius Tabai 评论道：“预计市场在到期前将经历不确定性，因为伽玛对冲在 60 和 65k 水平左右主导市场。”
