Using RSI and Fibonacci Support to Structure a Bitcoin Bull Put Spread

Article Deribit Insights
Read the original

Summary

The document presents a moderately bullish Bitcoin options trade based on RSI near 40%, a 50% Fibonacci retracement, and a reported higher-lows pattern on a four-hour chart. The proposed bull put spread sells a higher-strike put and buys a lower-strike put with the same expiry. The example sells the $57,000 put and buys the $56,000 put for a net credit of $210 per BTC, with a May 10, 2024 expiry.

The position reaches its stated maximum profit if Bitcoin expires at or above the short strike; the stated maximum loss is $790 per BTC, reflecting the strike width less the credit. The rationale cites earlier occasions when RSI near this level coincided with rally attempts, but gives no systematic test or probability estimate. The setup depends on the technical pattern and short-term rebound view holding, and the article cautions that its analysis is informational rather than a standalone basis for a trade.

Key ideas

  • A bull put spread combines a short higher-strike put with a long lower-strike put at the same expiry.
  • The example spread earns a stated net credit of $210 per BTC and risks a stated maximum loss of $790 per BTC.
  • The proposed entry rationale combines RSI near 40%, a Fibonacci retracement, and higher lows.
  • Maximum profit occurs if Bitcoin expires at or above the short put strike.
  • The historical RSI examples are suggestive context, not a statistical validation of the setup.
