📈 Thesis
Neutral to moderately bullish on $BAC into April 2026 expiration. This debit spread reduces Vega exposure (IV/HV ~1.56) while maintaining a positive Delta for upside participation. Short call premium offsets some time decay (Theta), making this more efficient than a naked long call.
⚠️ Risk Management: Defined risk with max loss of $62/spread. Ready to hold to expiry but will monitor BAC’s price action and IV changes for early adjustments.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Options trading involves significant risk and may result in loss of capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.
