Roughly 3,800 PX Apr $135 calls were purchased late in the day on Friday for $0.69-$0.80 each (18x the average daily call volume). Shares have bounced off of support at the $120 level and are now setting up for a return to $133-$135 in the intermediate-term. Consider buying the Apr $130 calls or $130/$135 bull call spreads with the plan to take at least partial profits near current resistance.
