3. Market Sentiment: If a substantial number of options expire worthless (out of the money), it may signal bearish sentiment among traders.

If many options expire in the money (with the underlying asset price favourable to the option holder), it may indicate bullish sentiment.



5. Psychological Factors: News of significant options expirations can also influence market psychology. Traders and investors may interpret the expiration event as a significant market event, leading to heightened attention and potential overreactions in price movements.

4. Liquidity Impact: Traders who held options positions may convert their profits or losses into spot market transactions, affecting trading volumes and liquidity.
