Narrative

4h trend is still up from the December base, and after the sharp pullback from ~30 PL has spent weeks rebuilding with higher lows and repeated acceptance in the 24.5-26 area. On the 1h chart, price is pressing the top of the recent range around 26.4-26.8 rather than sitting mid-range, with a fresh push into resistance and improving participation. The clean trade is a breakout continuation only if price holds above 26.5; below that, this remains range trade noise. Stop belongs under the recent 1h higher-low / support shelf near 24.8, where the breakout thesis is invalid. First meaningful upside level is the prior 4h supply zone near 29.5-30.

Long Call: Directional bullish play for a breakout toward the prior 29-30 supply zone. April gives a bit more time than weeklies, but PL options are expensive, so this is higher-risk premium exposure and best only if you want uncapped upside.

Call Spread: Better fit than naked calls because implied volatility is very elevated. The spread defines risk and reduces premium outlay while targeting a move into the 28-30 area, which matches the chart resistance overhead.
