Using a Bull Put Spread for a Bitcoin Continuation View

Article Deribit Insights

Summary

This example presents a bullish Bitcoin options trade using a short put spread: sell a higher-strike put and buy a lower-strike put with the same expiry. It identifies a target price area and a stop level, and reports a maximum profit per bitcoin at expiry. The payoff depends on Bitcoin staying above the short strike; losses are limited by the long put, though the page does not state the maximum loss.

The rationale combines recent price strength, a lack of pullback after a new high, an ascending triangle on the hourly chart, the approaching Bitcoin halving, and rising ETF investment. These are presented as reasons to expect the upward move to continue, not as tested evidence. The example is tied to a particular market snapshot and expiration, so its prices and thesis may not generalize. The page also outlines how to enter the combo order on the exchange and cautions against treating the report as the sole basis for a trade.

Key ideas

  • A bull put spread sells a put and buys a lower-strike put with the same expiry.
  • The example uses a price target and stop level to define its trade plan.
  • The bullish thesis cites recent price action, a chart pattern, the halving, and ETF investment.
  • The proposed rationale is qualitative and tied to a specific market snapshot.
  • The spread limits downside relative to an uncovered short put, but the page omits its maximum loss.
