Forex Options allow the buyer to cite a premium based upon a specific scenario.
Selling an Option means that the holder/ buyer can sell his Options anticipating two types of market conditions.

If the market is steady, the holder can keep the quoted premium.
If the market is volatile or follows the direction at which you’ve forecasted, you earn huge returns.

As Forex trading is not suitable for traders looking for long-term options, but for a short span. The advantage of a short Spot trade is that the buyer/trader makes attractive profits during a season when market experiences a downward trend.
To garner outstanding profits selling Options can be done in both, the bearish as well as bullish markets.
If you sell a call, you sell an option when the market is bearish and you want the value of the call to fall and it expires worthless.
If you sell a put, you sell an option when the market is bullish and you want the value of put to fall but market to rise.
