The bulls won the day yesterday, pushing the markets to new highs into the close, but that didn’t prevent our mixed bag of long and short option ideas from yielding intraday moves across the board. Our premarket report contained three fresh ideas for the session.

We were looking at the BABA Weekly $108-105 Puts, the MRNA Weekly $127-131 Calls, and the SPY 02/24 $416-414 Puts, and in the case of the bearish plays those gain opportunities came early in the day.
