Why are we taking this trade?

Following its ascent to new all-time highs, BTC has begun to exhibit significant retracements and has breached a 4-hour support level. A fresh supply zone or resistance zone has materialized on the 4-hour chart, approximately around the 72400 levels.

In light of these recent developments in BTC’s price action, the bear call spread strategy emerges as an enticing opportunity to leverage potential gains. This strategic approach serves to confine losses to the disparity between the strike prices and the net credit received. For instance, within our current scenario, this would equate to $1350 ($72,500 – $74,000 – $150).
