The author is bullish on Oracle into earnings, citing cloud/AI growth and guidance, and expects a move above the market-implied earnings move. He bought 10 ORCL $170 calls expiring 9/11 at $6.15 average, with breakeven at $176.15 and max loss of $6,150. Main risks are IV crush and only 2 days to expiration; he plans to close rather than hold if the expected move doesn't materialize.
