VKTX Viking Therapeutics Options Ahead of Earnings

Analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of VKTX Viking Therapeutics prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 11usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-1-19,
for a premium of approximately $1.80.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
