UPXI snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $0.75, ATM IV 155.46%, IV rank 30.94%, expected move 44.57%. The long call on UPXI 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 28-day expiry.

Why this long call structure on UPXI specifically: UPXI IV at 155.46% 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 44.57% (roughly $0.33 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated UPXI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UPXI should anchor to the underlying notional of $0.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on UPXI stock.

UPXI long call setup

The UPXI 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 UPXI at $0.75 on that close, the first option leg uses a $0.75 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UPXI chain at a 28-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 UPXI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

UPXI thesis for this long call

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for UPXI extends from approximately $0.42 on the downside to $1.08 on the upside. A UPXI 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. Current UPXI IV rank near 30.94% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long call thesis on UPXI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Defensive name, UPXI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to UPXI-specific events.

UPXI 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. UPXI positions also carry Consumer Defensive sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move UPXI alongside the broader basket even when UPXI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on UPXI 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 UPXI chain quotes before placing a trade.
