What Market Outlook Does a Short Put Option Writer Typically Have?

A short put option writer typically has a neutral-to-bullish outlook on the underlying asset. They believe the price will either remain stable or increase, ensuring the put option expires out-of-the-money and they keep the premium.

They are willing to purchase the asset at the strike price if the price drops, but they do not expect a significant decline.
