You can buy puts to hedge. But problem is, a bear market doesn't often happen like what we saw in 2020. That was a flash crash. It often slowly bleeds with lower high and lower low. So buying puts can be tricky unless it is long term puts which may be costly.
Buying options also will need to buy at the right time or you get IV crushed.

This week is OpEx. So stay nimble. If you are in profits. Take them. MM can switch course to eat up options holders whichever side has more retailers. If retailers all buy puts. It will go up by Friday.

There might be. If all retailers start rushing to buy puts. That is what is gonna happen. So if market starts getting bearish. That's when you close your puts.

Yes. Market makers always go opposite of what alot of retailers are thinking. Especially during OpEx week. They are the one who sell us the calls and puts. If there are more ppl buying calls, it will fall. If alot start buying puts. They will push price up. To eat up the option players.
