One can initiate a Bear Put Spread strategy to benefit from the bearish stance along with market volatility . Bear Put Spread Traders use this strategy when they expect the price of an underlying to decline in the near future. This involves buying and selling put options of the same expiry but different strike prices.

A higher strike price put is bought and a lower-priced one is sold. The higher-priced put is in-the-money (ITM) while a lower-priced one is an out-of-the-money option. This strategy results in a net debit for the trader as the cost of the ITM put gets adjusted with the cash flow from shorting the OTM put.
