Using a SOL Bear Call Spread During Token Unlock Selling
Summary
The note presents a bearish-to-neutral view on SOL amid the continued release and sale of locked tokens and price action described as lower highs near newly formed supply zones. It outlines a bear call spread: sell a call at a lower strike and buy a call at a higher strike with the same expiry. The example sells the $135 call and buys the $140 call, with a target of SOL below $135.
The stated rationale is that further token sales could weigh on price, while the spread earns a net credit if SOL stays below the short strike. The note gives a maximum profit of $18 per contract and a maximum loss of $32, citing a contract multiplier of 10. These figures apply to the stated structure and quoted premiums; the document offers no performance history or probability estimate. The trade is time-specific, and its directional thesis could fail if SOL rallies; the long call limits the spread's loss in that case.
Key ideas
- A bear call spread sells a call and buys another call at a higher strike with the same expiry.
- The proposed SOL position uses $135 and $140 calls and targets a spot price below $135.
- The stated thesis links potential downside pressure to continued locked-token offloading and lower highs near supply zones.
- The example reports $18 maximum profit and $32 maximum loss per contract, using a multiplier of 10.
- The spread limits losses from an upside move, but the market outlook and option prices are specific to the trade date.
