A Bitcoin Call Butterfly for a Moderately Bullish, Range-Bound View

Summary

The document describes a Bitcoin call butterfly built by buying calls at $76,000 and $80,000 and selling two calls at $78,000, all with the same expiry. It frames the position as moderately bullish, with a potential gain concentrated around the middle strike. The stated rationale combines a pattern of higher daily lows and recent price resilience with open interest at the outer strikes, which the author views as possible resistance levels. The proposed target is below $78,000, and the text suggests considering an exit if Bitcoin reaches that level by the following day.

The stated maximum loss is the initial $120 debit, so the structure limits loss to its entry cost. The discussion is a single dated setup and offers no probability analysis, historical testing, or comparison with alternative spreads. Open interest and chart patterns are presented as reasons for the trade, but the text does not demonstrate that they reliably predict price behavior. Readers should interpret it as an illustrative options payoff rather than a validated forecasting method.

Key ideas

• A call butterfly buys calls at two outer strikes and sells two calls at the middle strike.
