BTC Bull Put Spreads for Moderately Bullish Option Strategies

Summary

The document presents a moderately bullish BTC options trade using a bull put spread: sell a put at the higher strike and buy a put at a lower strike, with the same expiry. The stated example collects a net credit and targets BTC remaining above the short put strike at expiry. The spread caps both the maximum gain at the credit received and the loss at the strike difference less that credit.

The rationale is that BTC had been holding support areas on a four-hour chart near its highs, while call open interest above a stated level was seen as possible room for further upside. These are market observations offered to support the trade, not tested evidence that the forecast will occur. The document gives no historical performance, probability estimate, or volatility analysis. It also notes that outcomes depend on expiry price and that losses remain possible if BTC falls through the lower strike. The trade is presented as an example rather than a standalone basis for a trading decision.

Key ideas

• A bull put spread combines a short higher-strike put with a long lower-strike put at the same expiry.
• The net premium received is the maximum profit if BTC expires above the short put strike.
• The maximum loss is limited by the strike width minus the net credit received.
• The trade rationale cites respected support areas and call open interest above the market, but supplies no performance testing.
