Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, Fresh Ideas

SPY Calls Surge on Market Pop:

We had just some daily SPY Calls and a longer term idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the latter of which isn’t really primed for an immediate update, but we most certainly came down on the right side of the fence with the SPY. The markets ripped all day long, and provided us with the catalyst for some really nice intraday gain opportunities.

We were tracking the SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls, and all three of the contract sets contained within recorded huge multibag runs for us. The total possible daily gains were as follows:

SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls
$391:
 2.04-6.82 (+234%)
$392: 1.58-5.81 (+268%)
$393: 1.19-5.05 (+324%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls


Watchlist Runners:

We saw some solid movement out of some of the plays off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. CBIO ran following the announcement of a $60M asset sale to Vertex, while GOVX was another stock boosted by the rising concerns over monkeypox, which has officially made its way to the US, and seems to a hot-button catalyst for related plays at the moment. .

4 Fresh Options Plays to Finish the Week

SPY Runners, Earnings Plays: 

We played both sides of the fence on the SPY yesterday, signaling a strike range of both puts and calls in our premarket report. We only consider such a thing when the markets seem due for a choppy day, and we were certainly correct in assuming that would be the case. Thanks to a mixed session, we got just what we were looking for with the SPY Puts doing their thing in the morning, and the calls claiming the spotlight for the remainder of the day. Our pair of earnings plays also yielded results, giving us the third consecutive session of 100% accuracy on our ideas.

The specific targets we were zeroed in on were the SPY 03/11 $424-422 Puts, the SPY 03/11 $422-424 Calls, the JD Weekly $60-58 Puts, and the ASAN 03/18 $40-35 Puts.
