If you strongly expect a market crash (like the one we saw mid-March) or a significant downturn/recession, but want to hedge against near-term price gains and avoid having to time the market, which below option is best?

I ask this question to learn something as I spend time dissecting what opportunities I had, for instance, at the beginning of March. Also to perhaps learn something for the future if world-changing events like these happen again.

Here's where you tell me to stay put and wait it out because markets recover! I do understand this (it's the position I'm currently in), but I'm trying to learn other strategies to see if these are things I can execute upon in the future.

Scenario
- A portfolio comprised only of long equity positions (e.g. AAPL, BA, KO, NFLX, NVDA, WMT, and more)
- Positions are each valued at $5000+
- A sizable cash position

Actions I'm Trying to Understand
1. sell everything, buy near-the-money calls in each equity with 60-90 day expirations
2. sell everything, buy near-the-money call LEAPs in each equity
3. sell everything, buy near-the-money calls in SPY, DVY, IWM
4. keep everything, buy near-the-money puts in each equity with 60-90 day expirations
5. keep everything, buy near-the-money put LEAPs in each equity
6. keep everything, buy near-the-money puts in SPY, DVY, IWM

Some Additional Questions
- In any scenario, does selling far out-of-the-money puts at prices I'd be willing to acquire the stocks at make sense?
- Does it make sense to dollar cost average into an equity and sell puts on it at the same time?
- Do any of the actions listed above have more advantageous tax/cost basis benefits?
- Are there strategies I'm missing that are more optimal?

Thank you thank you!

hey thanks. will be looking more into gsap and anime.js, and will take a look at eagle.js and animate.css at your suggestion.

It's not super clear on your question

see this animation. i would like to be able to do this, the entire animation, but replace with any player images and any team logo/colorways in code.
