Current CLYM snapshot
As of May 14, 2026, spot at $11.34, ATM IV 113.40%, expected move 32.51%. The long call on CLYM below is built from the same 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 long call structure on CLYM specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CLYM is inferred from ATM IV at 113.40% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 32.51% (roughly $3.69 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 CLYM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CLYM should anchor to the underlying notional of $11.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on CLYM stock.
CLYM long call setup
The CLYM long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CLYM near $11.34, the first option leg uses a $11.34 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CLYM 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 CLYM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CLYM thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CLYM extends from approximately $7.65 on the downside to $15.03 on the upside. A CLYM long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. As a Healthcare name, CLYM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CLYM-specific events.
CLYM long call positions are structurally 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. CLYM positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CLYM alongside the broader basket even when CLYM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on CLYM 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 CLYM chain quotes before placing a trade.
