OXY Occidental Petroleum Corporation Options Ahead of Earnings

Analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of OXY Occidental Petroleum Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 50usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-4-17,
for a premium of approximately $1.56.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
