Friday’s Flawless Options Plays, Fresh Ones for Monday

Options Trading Reviews: 

We were really pleased with the performance of all of the potential options trading ideas that we laid out in our premarket report on Friday morning. We had offered up a sizable group of four separate plays that caught our eye on our routine morning scans, and swept the board with big gains being achievable in every contract, just as we had done on Thursday as well.

Our daily interests Friday were the NVDA Weekly $255-257.50 Calls, the FDX Weekly $222.50-227.50 Calls, the COIN Weekly $68-71 Calls, and the BABA Weekly $81-83 Calls.

Yesterday’s Options Runners:

We cast a fairly wide net yesterday with respect to the number of potential targets we were monitoring, with five ideas on the daily slate in our premarket report. Despite another rough ride for the markets in general, most of those targets put forth early gain opportunities. Our bearish sentiment on Carvana of course led to the best chances.

The specific targets were the CVNA Weekly $91-88 Puts, the CSX Weekly $35-37 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $1040-1060 Calls. and the possible intraday gains ranged from moderate to excellent. Here were the trading ranges they registered:

CVNA Weekly $91-88 Puts
$91: 
2.90-11.71 (+304%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing IMMU, EBIO & More

Immunomedics, Inc. IMMU

We began tracking IMMU last month, mentioning it for the first time on May 13th, and then again in a followup on the 20th. Our timeliness in bringing what was already a steady climber to the table, as you can plainly see on the chart below.

It’s been a solid few weeks for the stock since that time. It has risen from our observed low of 3.59 to a new high of 5.44 yesterday, marking a solid 52% PPS increase in just a short time. We can also see that the volume has been steadily creeping up as well.

The last time the stock was this overbought, we saw a leveling out but not much of a consolidation. We’ll look for a similar phenomenon to occur from this point forward, and for IMMU to ultimately continue its general uptrend until we see evidence to the contrary.


Eleven Biotherapeutics, Inc. EBIO

Speaking of plays we called last month that have enjoyed extended moves up, we’ve also got on update on EBIO this morning. We tagged this stock for observation in the first week of May, and would catch it trading at a low of .80.

From there it’s been a fairly steady climb, and yesterday it too shot to new highs. As of yesterday’s top mark of 2.10, we’d witnessed a one-month rise of 163% as the stock temporarily cracked through the 200DMA. We’ll look for it to hold support at or above previous resistance in the 1.70 area on any pullbacks.


Fresh Options Idea

For a closing idea on this short week, we’ve taken notice of the chart on iShares Silver Trust SLV. It’s gapping up moderately in the premarket this morning after recently bouncing off of its lowest price in a couple of months.

Accordingly, today we’re going to look to possibly take advantage of the activity in the SLV $15-16 Weekly Calls* for intraday flip opportunities.

*Caution: As always, heed our caution with regard to trading options contracts with a weekly expiration on Friday. It’s something only to be attempted by advanced traders!
