Bank of America Inc (NYSE:BAC) is pulling into its 50-day moving average as part of a defined uptrend. Lows were found near put support at the 60 strike on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.

Digging deeper, a bunch of put adds at 62.50 for October occurred on Friday, which could become supportive.

Overhead calls are set to roll off as we work our way through September, opening up a window to move towards the 70-strike call level overhead.

An unwinding of bearish bets in the options pits could fuel tailwinds, with BAC’s 50-day put/call volume ratio sitting in the 78th percentile of its annual range. With a Schaeffer’s Volatility Index (SVI) in the low 12th percentile of its annual range, premium can be had for a bargain right now.

Our recommended October call has a leverage ratio of 14.8 and will double in value with a 7% move in the underlying equity.
