Coinbase Glb has seen its price drop -1.8% today to $179.57. Today's price action is showing weakness in both the stock and the overall market. Setting up this calendar spread with strikes at $160 gives you a bearish bias to tap into COIN stock's weakness.

In this scenario, the optimal stock price for the option strategy would be $160.00 on the date of the first expiration, November 29, 2024. This is equal to the strike price of the options in the spread. Since there is notable downward pressure in both the market and COIN, and the strikes are below the current stock price of $180.74, the spread is taking advantage of the market's bearish bias. If the stock price is $160.00 at expiration, we can benefit from the 29-Nov-24 put, which we sold, expiring worthless, and the option that we are long, the 20-Dec-24 put, will still have time premium built in.

Since we do now know what the exact implied volatility will be on November 29, we can use our historical data to make an educated estimate to help us calculate the value of the 20-Dec-24 option. Applying the median historical implied volatility of 75.4 from similar options, the theoretical value of the put is 11.44 at the date of the 29-Nov-24 expiration. Using the above assumptions gives us a potential upside of +201% for this calendar spread.
