Bear Put Spread Construction

Buy 1 ITM Put
Sell 1 OTM Put

 


The bear put spread is employed when the options trader thinks that the price of the underlying asset will go down moderately in the near term. This strategy requires the options trader to buy a higher striking in-the-money put option and sell a lower striking out-of-the-money put option of the same underlying security with the same expiration date. Also known as a vertical bear put spread.
