SPY, FUTU Gainers, Fresh Options Plays

Yesterday’s Big Runners: 

Yesterday morning, as is typical for our daily premarket reports, we included a selection of options ideas comprised of both quick-strike and extended-term ideas. There was a lot of good volatility in the markets yesterday, so the quick plays worked out beautifully, while the longer-term target will take some time to mature.

Our spur of the moment ideas were the SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls and the FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls. In both cases, we had multiple chances for beautiful multi-bag intraday gains. Despite the fact that we are going to see a tapering of earnings reporters in coming weeks, if we continue to see the type of volatility yesterday brought, we should have too hard of a time tracking down opportunities like these.

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Ideas & More

Solid Options Runners: 

To close things out for the short week on Friday, we had a pair of quick-strike options ideas in the LULU and OKTA chains, as well as a longer term target for ASAN in our premarket report. Despite a rather subdued session for the markets in general wherein we saw a gap-down in the morning, and not much progress toward a recovery throughout the day, we were still able to manage some very nice gain chances.

Our specific areas of interest for the day were the LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls, the OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls, and the ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts. Both sets of calls produced multi-bag profit possibilities on the day, with ASAN not lagging far behind. We’ve also got a week and change before they expire, so we’ll continue to monitor those as well. As for Friday’s moves, here’s what these ideas put forth for the session:

LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls
$300:
 2.55-7.35 (+188%)
$302.50: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
$305: 1.41-4.50 (+219%)
$307.50: .94-3.40 (+262%)

OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls
$106: 1.16-2.87 (+147%)
$107: .84-2.05 (+144%)

_____

ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts
$22.50: 1.82-2.90 (+59%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

We are heading into an extended dry spell with regard to the number of big name companies dropping their earnings reports, which is going to persist for the next several weeks. We’re used to traversing these periodic ‘earnings deserts’, and as always, we’ll still be working hard every day to find the best opportunities possible, which for us, generally includes a heavy reliance on the SPY- our favorite market analog.

SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls 
FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls
QDEL 07/15 $85-95 Calls

Nano Labs Corp. CTLE – Recap

At the top of our to-do list this morning is going to be CTLE, which we tagged for observation in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We include these Extended Watchlist plays nearly every day, and it’s always a good idea to add them to a watchlist on your own screens, as they often turn up hidden gems like this one.

CTLE recorded a low of .0044 before pushing up to a high of .0095, which represents an intraday rip of 116% The stock posted this performance on its largest single day trading volume in well over five years, with over a billion shares changing hands! With activity on this level, we’ll certainly want to continue to follow the CTLE chart as we head through midweek.


Ebix.com Inc. EBIX – Bottom Bouncer

We took notice of EBIX this morning on a routine scan, and discovered a very attractive bottom setup on the chart. As you can see on the included snapshot below, the stock fell off a cliff last month and has spent the past week establishing a new bottom.

This is exactly the type of setup we look for in a potential recovery play, with a base of support along with a massive topside gap on the chart. We’re going to add a longer-term options idea that would allow us to take advantage of any impending rebounds. We’re going to radar the EBIX 06/18 $40-45 Calls.


Fresh Options Idea:
AMBA Weekly $118-121 Calls
