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 $78,000. To leverage this potential move, the call butterfly strategy presents an appealing opportunity.

Notably, there is significant open interest at both $76,000 and $80,000, suggesting these levels could serve as points of resistance, potentially maximizing profits within this range.

In the event of a price drop, losses are limited to the initial debit of $120. If the underlying price reaches $78,000 by tomorrow, it may be prudent to consider closing the position to secure potential gains.
