An Option Tactic To Win Even When Wrong
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Jul 16, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Jul 16, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss Ethereum’s recent breakout and how it’s currently leading Bitcoin in strength.
Hans shares his view on the opportunity presented by unusually low implied volatility in crypto-related instruments, such as ETH and IBIT, explaining his preferred strategy — a directional strangle he calls the “vega bailout.”
This approach involves buying out-of-the-money puts and nearer-the-money calls to benefit from potential upside while protecting against sharp downside moves.
He emphasizes that when options are extremely cheap, it’s a favorable time to position for big moves, especially in volatile assets like crypto.
