Max Profit: $2000/BTCNet Debit: $0/BTC

Why are we taking this trade?

BTC is currently forming higher lows on its daily chart and has demonstrated resilience since March 6th, recently achieving a new all-time high. Anticipating further upward momentum, I foresee BTC ascending to new peaks in the coming days, possibly reaching $74,000. To leverage this potential move, a 1x1x1 call ladder strategy presents an appealing opportunity.

Notably, there is significant open interest at both $74,000 and $78,000, suggesting these levels could serve as points of resistance, potentially maximizing profits within this range.

It’s important to note that while the initial debit of this strategy is $0, losses are theoretically Notional in the event of a price decline. However, a sudden surge in volatility leading to a substantial upward movement wouldn’t be advantageous due to the position’s net short call exposure.

If the underlying price reaches $76,000 within the next two days, it may be prudent to consider closing the position to secure potential gains.

If the value of the transaction is very small, filter it out.
