Brothers watching the market, look here. There is a major event this afternoon at 4 PM — Bitcoin options expiration hit a record high, with the total volume surpassing $20 billion, and the biggest pain point is stuck at $95,000. Everywhere in the market, people are discussing this; with so many bullish options positions out there, even if the price doesn’t actually hit the pain point, a wild fluctuation is inevitable.
But there’s a problem that many people overlook: when the market is so extremely volatile, are the "pricing references" for your on-chain assets really reliable? Your DeFi lending positions, leveraged contracts, and the entire protocol liquidation logic all rely on that "oracle price feed." If this data source experiences delays, deviations, or even short-term manipulation during intense volatility, what awaits you is a silent chain reaction of liquidations and a collapse.
That’s why new generation oracle projects are becoming increasingly critical in this market environment. Their purpose is to serve as a stable and reliable "north star" during the market’s craziest and most chaotic times.
Specifically, one approach is to address "flash crashes" and data delay issues. Traditional oracles tend to struggle with rapid price swings, leading to increasing time gaps between on-chain prices and the real market, eventually causing inexplicable liquidations. New oracle solutions use low-latency push mechanisms and multi-source data aggregation and verification in real-time, minimizing this time gap and making on-chain prices more aligned with actual market conditions.
Another focus is to prevent malicious price manipulation. Oracle attacks have long been studied, and through multi-source data aggregation and verification mechanisms, these risks can be effectively countered.

Is 95,000 really a level that can hold? Feels like a cliffhanger.
---
The oracle delay issue definitely needs to be guarded against, or else a wave of volatility could lead to liquidation without us knowing what happened.
---
With a 20 billion settlement volume, these fluctuations make my leveraged positions hard to sleep peacefully.
---
The new oracle sounds good, but whether it’s reliable in critical moments still depends on real-world testing.
---
The biggest risk of a lightning crash is that the price feed can't keep up; by the time you react, it’s already liquidated.
---
Multi-source aggregation verification is an interesting approach, but I’m not sure about the costs.
---
Options pain point hits 95k; someone will definitely try to trigger it, the market is just that dirty.
---
Oracle attacks have always existed; it’s a bit late to start paying attention now.
---
On-chain pricing is truly the key to DeFi’s survival.
---
It still seems necessary to deploy price feeds across multiple chains; relying on a single source is too dangerous.

20 billion USD in settlement volume is crushingly high. If the 95K level is truly hit, the liquidation mechanism might even collapse.

95k is stuck again, and now we have to look at the oracle's mood
This wave is really easy to be sniped and liquidated
$20 billion settlement, if the oracle glitches, it's over
On-chain pricing needs to be taken seriously, don't wait until liquidation to regret
Can the new oracle solution keep up with the market? Has anyone used it?
Feels like it's still relying on luck, data sources are unpredictable, sometimes there's a delay
Multi-source aggregation sounds good, but I don't know how effective it actually is

Oh no, hitting the 95,000 level is really incredible. If the oracle fails at this moment, I'm done.
---
So now oracles are riskier than exchanges? No wonder DeFi liquidations have been so frequent lately.
---
After a trading volume of 20 billion, whose oracle data is the fastest? That's the key.
---
I've been scared of the lightning crash risk for a while. I'd rather earn less than get caught by an oracle failure.
---
Multi-source data aggregation sounds good, but can you trust it in life-and-death situations?
---
If this wave causes oracle delays and clears my positions, I'll go to Discord and cause a scene.
---
Honestly, you still have to trust the big oracle projects. Smaller ones can't withstand this volatility.
---
Whether the 95,000 level breaks or not, there will be big fluctuations. Let's see whose oracle can keep up with the spot price.
---
I think price manipulation is more terrifying than delay risks. Feels like there's no defense.
---
The climax at 4 o'clock settlement—are the oracles ushering in spring?

Can 95,000 really be broken down? It feels like just a false signal from the bears.
If the $20 billion settlement really breaks through, the leveraged positions will be bleeding profusely.
I've been burned before by oracle delays; one liquidation and it's gone.
Relying solely on multi-source data aggregation is useless; it still depends on the exchange's pricing.
Another headache-inducing volatility is coming.
If this wave is again bought the dip, I’ll be live streaming while eating my keyboard.
