Bear call spread, also known as vertical bear spread, consists of a long position in a higher strike call, frequently at the money, and a short position of a lower strike (in the money) call of the same expiry.
The holder of a bear call spread usually expects the base price to go down, but not reach the strike of the short call, realizing the maximum profit.
