A Fantastic Friday, 3 Fresh Options Ideas

A Huge Day on Friday:

We really got things turned around and headed in a good direction on Friday,after including a range of three possible targets in our premarket report. All of those plays rattled off big time intraday upswings and provided traders with chances at some hefty gains. It was a choppy holiday season and first week of 2025, but with notable reporters scheduled on the earnings calendar once again starting tomorrow, hopefully Friday’s success was a hallmark of what’s on the way in the coming days.

Those big movers from Friday were the SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls, the SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls, and the CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls, and here were the major multibag runs they posted:

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

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

Recap of Friday’s Session, 3 New Ideas

Friday Recap:

It was a fairly muted session to end last week’s short week. We didn’t have any options reporters to work off of, and just included some quick strike SPY ideas and a couple longer-term watchlist items in our premarket report. While the SPY targets did yield some good intraday opportunities, the results from the other two were lackluster and need more time to mature over the next few weeks.

Our positive movers from Friday were the SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls, and the UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls, which recorded the following figures:

SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls
$598: .13-.30 (+131%)
$599: .09-.19 (+111%)
_____

UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls
$510: 15.80-17.15 (+8%)
$515: 13.50-14.35 (+6%)
