X United States Steel Corporation Options Ahead of Earnings

If you haven`t bought X here:

Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of X United States Steel Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 26usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2023-10-20,
for a premium of approximately $1.24.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Trade closed: target reached:

United States Steel Corporation reached $32.52 after the buyout announcement, and the Calls when up from $1.24 to $6.05 at the close yesterday (even higher intraday), for a fantastic gain of 4.90X!!
Congrats for those of you who bought the calls!
