Using a Bitcoin Bull Put Spread in a Choppy, Sideways-to-Bullish Market

Article Deribit Insights
Read the original

Summary

The article proposes a bull put spread for a sideways-to-bullish Bitcoin outlook. The example sells a June 14 put at a higher strike and buys a put at a lower strike, collecting a stated net credit of $259 per BTC. If Bitcoin finishes at or above the higher strike of $66,000, the spread reaches its stated maximum profit; the lower-strike long put limits downside, with the article giving a maximum loss of $741.

The bullish case rests on reported support near $66,700, a possible trendline breakout, positive but low spot ETF flows, and declining exchange balances. The author also identifies Federal Reserve policy and inflation data as potential catalysts. These are qualitative arguments, not demonstrated forecasts, and the page provides no historical test or probability estimate. The payoff depends on holding the spread through expiration and reflects the specific strikes, date, and quoted premiums in the example; market conditions and option prices can change.

Key ideas

  • A bull put spread sells a higher-strike put and buys a lower-strike put with the same expiry.
  • The example targets maximum profit if Bitcoin expires at or above $66,000.
  • The long lower-strike put limits the example’s stated maximum loss to $741 per BTC.
  • The bullish thesis cites support, possible breakout behavior, ETF flows, and falling exchange balances.
  • The article offers no backtest or probability estimate, and its example premiums are date-specific.
