Current OPRX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.21, ATM IV 49.90%, IV rank 19.57%, expected move 14.31%. The bull call spread on OPRX 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 34-day expiry.
Why this bull call spread structure on OPRX specifically: OPRX IV at 49.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a OPRX bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.31% (roughly $0.75 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated OPRX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OPRX should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.21 per share and to the trader's directional view on OPRX stock.
OPRX bull call spread setup
The OPRX 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 OPRX near $5.21, the first option leg uses a $5.21 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OPRX chain at a 34-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 OPRX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OPRX thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OPRX extends from approximately $4.46 on the downside to $5.96 on the upside. A OPRX bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on OPRX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current OPRX IV rank near 19.57% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on OPRX at 49.90%. As a Healthcare name, OPRX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OPRX-specific events.
OPRX 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. OPRX positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OPRX alongside the broader basket even when OPRX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on OPRX 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 OPRX chain quotes before placing a trade.
