ILMN Illumina Options Ahead of Earnings

Analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of ILMN Illumina prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 140usd strike price in the money Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-12-20,
for a premium of approximately $16.65.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
