Impossible to do bear call spreads since December

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi, everyone,</p> <p>I've been having an awful experience attempting to do bear call spreads to reduce volatility since December. It seems that EVERY TIME I try to do bear call spreads, even picking an 80 delta option with 2 DTE, I not only lose, but lose big. After noticing that the index was finally not making big movements, and hoping it was starting to behave normally, I tried to place a bear call spread again. Guess what? +2% up today!</p> <p>You could say it's because I'm near the bottom, but I've had this situation near the top too. I can't ever figure out when it's the bottom (if I did, I wouldn't risk rebounding, naturally).</p> <p>Any insights here?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Megabyte_2"> /u/Megabyte_2 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/sf1tm2/impossible_to_do_bear_call_spreads_since_december/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/sf1tm2/impossible_to_do_bear_call_spreads_since_december/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
