Market Surge Leads to More SPY Opportunities

Options Movers: 

Our options ideas for yesterday’s session included a range of SPY calls which expire at the end of trading today, and thanks to a huge surge in the markets, not only did those turn out excellent chances for gain yesterday, but given the tenor of things here in the premarket, all the figures you see below for the SPY will make a huge jump today, especially if the Fed’s rate decision comes back as expected this afternoon. Continue reading down the page to find our rolled-up targets for the SPY today.
