Hot Start to 4-Day Week, 5 Fresh Ideas

Tuesday’s Movers:

We kicked off this holiday-shortened 4-day trading week in good form on Tuesday, with our premarket report containing three potential options targets, all of which displayed some measure of success on the session. The SPY continues to be our favorite instrument when it comes to taking advantage of market volatility, and that proved out once again yesterday, with some massive gain chances coming from that idea.

We had the SPY 05/27 $584-586 Calls, the OKLO Weekly $49-50 Calls and the DJT Weekly $27-28 Calls on watch. These were their best runs of the day:

Another Nice Outing:

The four potential options trading targets that we worked up for our premarket report yesterday yielded some nice intraday results, keeping us steady on our streak of solid plays for the week.

Those plays were the NVDA Weekly $134-132 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $342.50-337.50 Puts, which were our go-to’s in a pinch with no big earnings reporters to work with, but that won’t be the case with today’s calendar. Here were the modest runs yesterday’s targets exhibited:

NVDA Weekly $134-132 Puts
$134:
 1.95-2.58 (+32%)
$133: 1.61-2.11 (+31%)

Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, 3 Potential Plays

Recap of Thursday’s Activity:

We don’t typically give such detailed predictions for daily market machinations as we did in our premarket report yesterday, but things played out essentially just like we expected. We mentioned that after the huge late-day rally on Wednesday, we were “anticipating the SPY to pare some of those gains early, before seeing another bounce”, and that’s just what we saw. With market volatility being what it is, we’ll continue sticking close to the SPY, just going off of our gut and the direction of the wind each morning to formulate our daily targets.

Here’s how that strategy worked out for yesterday’s SPY targets, the SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls. We have the best intraday moves from our other idea, the KMX 04/17 $77.50-72.50 Puts as well.

SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls
$532:
.52-2.74 (+427%)
$533: .40-2.38 (+495%)
$534: .40-2.08 (+420%)
_____

KMX 04/17 $77.50-72.50 Puts

$77.50: 5.90-14.00 (+137%)
$75: 4.92-11.70 (+138%)
$72.50: 3.00-8.87 (+196%)
