MSFT pre -earnings analysis

NASDAQ:MSFT   Microsoft Corp.
MSFT here has been trading sideways for a while and is right in the middle of this channel.
Earnings could gap up or down into either level.

Here are a few strategies you could consider over earnings.
a) 2 debit spreads:
Buy to open the $53 Aug put and sell to open the $50 Aug put ($3.00 max reward) cost of $1.00
And then same thing with calls BTO $54 Aug Cals and STO $57 cost would be .90 and reward $3.00

b) Aug Iron condor STO 57 / BTO 58 calls STO 50 / BTO / 49 Puts for .20 limit.

MSFT could gap into either strong price. Candle does look bullish today. A small bullish gap above $54.50 would probably cause MSFT to trade higher.
