Rationale: This strategy is optimal for a "cautiously bullish" view with extremely high IV (100.14%). A bull call spread capitalizes on upward movement while significantly reducing the cost (and Vega/Theta risk) compared to a naked long call. Buying the $24 Call targets a move above immediate resistance. Selling the $26 Call (near the $25-$26 target zone) finances part of the trade, defines max risk, and provides a positive Theta contribution to offset the long option's decay. It balances Delta (direction), reduces negative Theta impact, and mitigates the high-cost penalty of long options in this high-IV environment.
