In Coinglass, we see 9.500 BTC on $25.000, 8.000 BTC on $28.000 and 9.100 BTC on $30.000. At $24.000 there is 6.400 BTC. So, I don’t see a clear target price.
Last Friday of month Bitcoin uses to find the max pain point between Puts (bears) and Calls (bulls). Anyway, on January’23 it was not like that.
On Deribit actually, max pain is at $24.000.
