Fed Rate Hike Sends Yesterday’s Options Plays Soaring

Massive Options Gainers Across the Board: 

Thanks to the response to yesterday afternoon’s Fed meeting and rate hike, we came down on the right side of the fence with regard to our daily options ideas. Not only did all four of our fresh targets produce multi-bag intraday gains, but the SPY calls we had signaled on Tuesday also posted impressive new highs before their expiration at the end of the day. So we’ll start off by updating those figures, and continue on to our 4-pack of fresh winners.

Those were the AMD Weekly $95-97 Calls, the ABNB Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the SBUX Weekly $77-79 Calls, and the MRNA Weekly $150-155 Calls. The SPY targets from Tuesday morning’s report were the SPY 05/04 $414-416 Calls. The ranges on the SPY represent a two-day swing, while the gains made by the remaining four were of course for yesterday’s session alone:
