<p>Try using a bullish call spread when calls are expensive due to elevated volatility, and you may expect moderate upside rather than huge gains. And, use a bear call spread when volatility is high and a modest downside is expected.</p>

Bear put spreads are also considered during periods of low volatility to reduce the dollar amounts of premiums paid, such as to hedge long positions after a strong bull market.</p>
