With Apple (AAPL) climbing significantly today and trading near some key statistical levels, Schwab Network unveiled a “bullish example trade” involving call options on AAPL stock.
Apple’s Technical Status Analyzed
Apple has been outperforming the overall tech sector in recent weeks, Rick Ducat, a commentator at the network, reported. On the other hand, all of AAPL’s “moving averages have been trending down,” and the shares have fallen below their trend line, he noted.

But the stock is closing in on its “previous low” of $208.40 and its 21-day exponential moving average, Ducat said.
For AAPL, $222 to $225 is “an important area to watch,” the commentator noted.
A Bullish “Example Trade”
Ducat suggested that traders could buy the $215 and $235 calls that expire on May 16 while selling two $225 calls that expire on the same day.
With this approach, traders would have a maximum loss of $150 and a maximum profit of $850, according to the commentator.
If Apple rises about 3%, traders who use the strategy will reach their “first break-even area,” but they will start losing money if the shares climb 11%, according to Ducat.
