Friday’s Major Movers, Fresh Ideas to Start the Week

Add Another Week to the Streak:

The pendulum swung back to the bullish side of things for the markets on Friday, which meshed well with our exclusively bullish slate of potential options plays in our premarket report for the day.

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%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls*
SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls*
CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls
