Bitcoin Bull Call Spread Based on Shallow Retracements

Article Deribit Insights

Summary

This trade note presents a bullish Bitcoin options position, arguing that limited pullbacks after resistance breaks suggest the short-term uptrend may continue. It describes buying a call at a lower strike and selling a call at a higher strike with the same expiry. The example uses November 8 calls at $65,000 and $67,000, and identifies the spread’s debit as its maximum loss and its upside as capped above the higher strike.

The rationale cites a recovery toward 61,200, relatively small retracements, and expected institutional flows. The author links the expiry to the US election period and gives a platform workflow for creating and trading the combo. The thesis is a dated market view rather than a tested strategy: it offers no historical performance analysis, and the direction depends on continued upward movement. The stated maximum profit and loss apply to the example and do not account for execution costs or changes in market conditions.

Key ideas

  • A bull call spread pairs a long lower-strike call with a short higher-strike call at the same expiry.
  • The strategy requires a net debit, which limits the example position’s loss.
  • The spread’s profit is capped once Bitcoin reaches the higher strike at expiry.
  • The bullish case rests on shallow retracements after resistance breaks and anticipated institutional flows.
