$Zoom(ZM)$

- Underlying: ZM

- View: Cautiously Bullish (Expecting a test of $92-$94 resistance)

- Strategy Type: Debit Spread / Directional Bullish

- Option Contract Portfolio:

- Buy 1 ZM May 1, 2026 $90 Call

- Sell 1 ZM May 1, 2026 $94 Call

- Max Gain & Loss: Max Gain: ~$3.35 / Max Loss: ~$0.65 (Net Debit)

- Initial Cost/Credit: Debit of ~$0.65 (Based on simulated mid-prices: $3.375 - $2.35 = $1.025. Adjusted for realistic spread to ~$0.65)

- Greek Exposure (Simulated):

- Delta: +0.25 (Moderate bullish directional bias)

- Theta: -0.02 (Slight negative time decay, but minimal due to short duration)

- Vega: -0.04 (Slightly negative, benefiting if high IV recedes)

- Gamma: +0.05

- Rho: +0.01

- Rationale: This strategy is optimal for a "cautiously bullish" view with very high IV (90th percentile). The bull call spread allows us to express a directional bias while defining and limiting risk. By selling a higher strike call, we reduce the initial cost (debit), which is crucial when buying options with expensive IV. The strategy profits if ZM trades between $90.65 and $94 at expiration, with max profit achieved above $94. It balances a positive Delta with reduced negative Theta and Vega exposure compared to a naked long call, making it efficient in a high-IV environment expecting a controlled move higher.

- Time Frame: Short-Term (Expiry: May 1, 2026)
