Starting 2022 Off the Right Way

Ringing in the New Year with Options Updates

We’ve been tracking several longer-term options plays in recent sessions, and today for the first report of the new calendar year, we’ve got some updates on the moves we’ve observed.

Starting off with BBIO, we were on top of that one from Tuesday of last week, watching as it gradually pressed to new highs each day. The stock itself has run from 12.06-17.34 during that span (+44%). We were targeting the BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls and thus far here are the total increases we’ve observed in those plays:

BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls 
$12.50: 1.85-5.11 (+176%)
$15: 1.50-3.60 (+140%)

On the same day last Tuesday, we signaled interest in some MRNA targets as well, highlighting the MRNA 01/21 $250-260 Calls and they too produced some nice increases on the week when all was said and done.

MRNA 01/21 $250-260 Calls
$250: 11.45-22.04 (+92%)
$252.50: 11.17-20.00 (+79%)
$255: 10.21-19.04 (+86%)
$257.50: 10.55-17.90 (+70%)

Potential Bottom-Play, Options Recaps

Options Reviews: 

Our primary order of business this morning is rather typical, but we never get bored tracking winning options plays. We’ve got updates of new highs on some ideas that we were tracking in BBIO, as well as the daily figures from the fresh plays we offered up in yesterday morning’s premarket report.

We initially slated the BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls in Tuesday morning’s report , while, with yesterday’s new targets we were on the bearish side of the fence with the CALM 01/21 $37.50-35 Puts and the FCEL Weekly $5.50-5.00 Puts. Here are the total gains made by all of those plays so far:

BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls 
$12.50: 1.85-3.65 (+97%)
$15: 1.50-2.60 (+73%)
_____

CALM 01/21 $37.50-35 Puts
$37.50: 
.80-1.68 (+110%)
$35: .20-.50 (+150%)
_____

FCEL Weekly $5.50-5.00 Puts
$5.50: .35-.71 (+101%)
$5.00: .10-.29 (+190%)


Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. EWTX – Bottom-Watch Play:

We’re also looking at EWTX for a possible bottom-bounce play in the days and weeks ahead. The stock recently got crushed down near its annual lows, and we’re going to be looking for it to hold support at $14.

We’ve drawn up a little annotated chart snapshot so you can see what we find attractive about this potential play.
