Interesting events are happening in the options market. Recently, a trader on Bullish opened a straddle options position, buying over 1,000 Bitcoin contracts in one go, with the premium paid exceeding $2.36 million. The core logic of this move is quite clear—strong bullish outlook on volatility.
His expectation is that BTC will experience a significant move before the end of March. Specifically, the profit range is set very clearly: if BTC drops below $76,000 or rises above $123,000, this trade will be profitable. In other words, he's betting that Bitcoin will break out of its current equilibrium, aiming for large price swings.
The risk also needs to be carefully considered. If BTC oscillates within this range, neither hitting new highs nor dropping significantly, the final result will be that the entire premium is lost. This is the characteristic of a straddle strategy—profit from volatility; if volatility doesn't materialize, you lose. In the current market environment, whether the anticipated extreme market moves will occur is the key factor that determines success or failure.

2.36 million USD in royalties just to gamble on a market move? How clear-headed must this guy be? I'm just sleepwalking.

2.36 million dollars poured in to gamble on volatility, this guy really dares, just worried that BTC will be stuck oscillating in that dead zone between 80,000 and 120,000.

2.36 million dollars in premiums just to gamble on volatility, this guy really dares to play. What if the fluctuations last until the end of March?

2.36 million invested to gamble on fluctuations, this guy is either smart or crazy. I bet it's the latter.
