BFLY snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $8.91, ATM IV 92.10%, IV rank 39.97%, expected move 26.40%. The bull call spread on BFLY below is built from the 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 BFLY specifically: BFLY IV at 92.10% 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 26.40% (roughly $2.35 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 BFLY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BFLY should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.91 per share and to the trader's directional view on BFLY stock.
BFLY bull call spread setup
The BFLY bull call spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BFLY at $8.91 on that close, the first option leg uses a $8.91 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BFLY 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 BFLY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

BFLY thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BFLY extends from approximately $6.56 on the downside to $11.26 on the upside. A BFLY bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on BFLY, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current BFLY IV rank near 39.97% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the bull call spread thesis on BFLY should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, BFLY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BFLY-specific events.
BFLY 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. BFLY positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BFLY alongside the broader basket even when BFLY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on BFLY 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 BFLY chain quotes before placing a trade.
