Traders just spent $2.5 billion betting that $BTC will hit $72,000 by July 31st, and they built in a ceiling.


The trade uses a bull call spread by buying 20,000 contracts at a $70,000 strike while selling 20,000 contracts at $72,000, both expiring July 31, two days after the Fed's next rate decision.
The structure lowers the cost of the bet, but it also caps how much the buyer can make if Bitcoin runs past $72,000. It's a bet on a moderate move, not a moonshot.
Options flow of this size usually reflects institutional positioning, not retail speculation. Worth watching whether Bitcoin actually holds near that zone once the Fed decision lands.
