Bitcoin Bear Call Spreads Against Resistance Near $63,000

Summary

The note presents a bearish options position based on Bitcoin’s rejection near $61,700 and expected difficulty breaking through a supply zone around $63,000. It describes selling a $63,000 call and buying a $64,000 call with the same expiry, collecting a net credit. The stated target is for spot to remain below $63,000; the maximum profit is the credit, while the higher-strike long call caps the spread’s loss.

The rationale is a brief false breakout and failure to close above resistance on a four-hour chart. This is a directional view supported by a cited price pattern, not a tested strategy or statistical study. The trade’s outcome depends on Bitcoin’s level at expiry and option pricing, and the note does not discuss transaction costs, volatility changes, or position sizing. It cautions that the analysis should not be the sole basis for a trading decision.

Key ideas

• A bear call spread sells a call and buys another call at a higher strike with the same expiry.
• The proposed BTC spread uses $63,000 and $64,000 strikes and receives a net credit.
• The view rests on resistance near $61,700 and expected difficulty clearing $63,000.
• The purchased higher-strike call limits the spread’s maximum loss.
