# BTC Implied Volatility Stays Low Amid Price Drop

Bitcoin's implied volatility remains low despite a recent price selloff, according to CoinDesk. An options specialist suggests that in such a scenario, a long straddle strategy may be preferable. This approach involves buying both a call and a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, allowing traders to potentially profit from significant price movements in either direction.
