On October 31, 2025, Deribit saw the expiration of $2.6 billion in Ethereum options, with a put-to-call ratio of 1.91, signaling a bearish outlook among options traders. At that point, Ethereum was priced at $3,847, which was under the "max pain" threshold of $4,100.12—the level where the most open contracts would lose value.

Ethereum has also demonstrated strength in its price movement, climbing 5.2% to $4,160 within 24 hours as of October 31.

Record-breaking ETF inflows have further boosted market optimism. U.S. spot ETH ETFs now manage $28.6 billion in assets, fueled by both institutional and retail investors, as highlighted in the TradingView piece.

Although Ethereum is still trading below its recent max pain level, the combination of robust ETF inflows, increased network activity, and technical signals points to a possible breakout. Nonetheless, analysts warn that broader economic conditions and regulatory changes could still bring volatility to the market.
