Bull Call Spread: Smart Way to Capture Upside Without Paying Heavy Premium

Strategy Concept A Bull Call Spread is used when the outlook is moderately bullish and upside is expected to be limited. Instead of paying a high premium for a naked call, this structure reduces cost and keeps risk defined. Example & Payoff
