Long MA vs Short V (Market Neutral Strategy)

The pair is close to historical lows. The market seems to have forgotten about the legal issues facing Visa, which has over 60 percent of the Debit Cards market. Just recently, in the fall, unexpected news caused Visa's stock to drop and pushed the spread to historical highs, above 1.8. Buying MA against V can already be considered justified, but for higher reliability, one could wait for literally 5 points and aim for the level of 1.58. Naturally, each position should be hedged. For MA, this is a Long Put, and for V, it’s a Long Call. The target level for exiting the spread is the mark of 1.74.
