UFOX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $87.73, ATM IV 32.90%, IV rank 58.45%, expected move 9.43%. The bull call spread on UFOX below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this bull call spread structure on UFOX specifically: UFOX IV at 32.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.43% (roughly $8.27 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated UFOX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UFOX should anchor to the underlying notional of $87.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on UFOX etf.
UFOX bull call spread setup
The UFOX bull call spread below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With UFOX at $87.73 on that close, the first option leg uses a $88.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UFOX chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 UFOX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

UFOX thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for UFOX extends from approximately $79.46 on the downside to $96.00 on the upside. A UFOX bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on UFOX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current UFOX IV rank near 58.45% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the bull call spread thesis on UFOX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, UFOX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to UFOX-specific events.
UFOX bull call spread positions are structurally moderately bullish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. UFOX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move UFOX alongside the broader basket even when UFOX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on UFOX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current UFOX chain quotes before placing a trade.
