Friday’s Movers, SPY Play for Monday

Friday Options Recap:

We were in pretty good shape to finish out the week on Friday with the ideas we formulated for our premarket report. We were bearish on the SPY, as we’ll continue to be today, but even the couple of calls we stuck in the mix recorded some nice intraday moves despite the overall bloodbath that occurred.

Our interests were the SPY 04/04 $524-522 Puts, the KO Weekly $73 Calls, and the JNJ Weekly $160 Calls. These were the biggest upswings they produced during Friday’s session:

SPY 04/04 $524-522 Puts
$524: 9.00-19.97 (+122%)
$523: 3.30-18.62 (+464%)
$522: 2.94-17.77 (+504%)
_____

KO Weekly $73 Calls
$73: .10-.46 (+360%)
_____

JNJ Weekly $160 Calls
$160: .56-.85 (+52%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

In the absence of any premarket earnings reporters and heavier than usual uncertainty in the air, today we’re just going to stick with the notion that SPY Puts are a safe bet, and simply update our potential strike area. We’ll go with the SPY 04/07 $499-497 Puts*.

Options Recaps, 3 Chances for Friday

Thursday’s Runners:

We went pretty light on options ideas yesterday for our premarket report , including just a pair of possible plays for the session. We’ve been a bit thin on earnings reporters to base our ideas on, and that’s going to be the case today as well. Things should pick up a bit on that front next week.

As for yesterday’s potential targets, the SPY 04/03 $549-546 Puts, and the RH Weekly $175-172.50 Puts, these were the biggest upswings we witnessed in each one for Thursday’s session:

SPY 04/03 $549-546 Puts
$549: 3.96-11.68 (+195%)
$548: 3.25-11.00 (+238%)
$547: 2.64-9.94 (+276%)
$546: 2.06-8.93 (+334%)

Reviewing Thursday’s Movers, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Thursday Recap:

We had something of a rough outing on Thursday as the post-holiday hangover continues. We had four possible plays lined up in our premarket report and saw appreciable upswings in just two of them. Although stocks currently appear on track to close out the first week of the new year with losses, we’re quite optimistic that a turnaround will begin to materialize. We should be back in business next week as earnings reporters crop up to add interest, and traders continue to shake off the cobwebs.

Yesterday’s green plays were the NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls, and the JNJ Weekly $145 Calls, and these were the intraday runs they registered in the first session of 2025:

NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls
$135: 1.60-4.24 (+165%)
$136: 1.88-3.16 (+68%)
_____

JNJ Weekly $145 Calls
$230: .20-.33 (+65%)

Tuesday’s Activity, 4 New Potential Targets

Tuesday’s Movers:

We finished out 2024 in solid fashion, with two out of the three possible plays we were tracking in our premarket report putting up some pretty good gains. This holiday season has definitely been a challenge, and we didn’t see a Santa Claus rally this year, but we fully expect things to pick back up around here in a big way starting on Tuesday, when we’ll be into some big name earnings reports once again.

As for Tuesday’s half day, here were the figures from the two runners on our options watchlist, the SPY 12/31 $589-590 Calls, and the RL Weekly 01/17 $230-240 Calls:

SPY 12/31 $589-590 Calls
$589: .23-.79 (+243%)
$590: .14-.50 (+257%)
_____

RL Weekly 01/17 $230-240 Calls
