MA Mastercard Incorporated Options Ahead of Earnings

If you haven`t bought MA before the previous earnings:

Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MA Mastercard Incorporated prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 457.5usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2024-5-3,
for a premium of approximately $5.95.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

MA traded at $436.95 after earnings, and the Puts went up from $5.95 (when I wrote this article) to $13.78 at expiration (a lot higher intraday), for about 2.3X gain!
