The first resistance level occurs at $36. If price can break above $36 then there is a 41.60 target for the USO. The October OTM calls are suitable for this price move. They have 96 days until expiration and are inexpensive. The $39 and $40 calls will only cost you between $1-$1.25 per 0.25 delta. This should result in about $900 profit for every $400 invested if the USO makes this final wave 5 before October expiration.
