SPY Rips, INTU Calls Push New highs:

We weathered the final day without big-name earnings reporters in the best way we know how yesterday. By focusing on the overall market trend and playing the SPY. We offered some longer term ideas as well, but the SPY Calls were the main event for our premarket report.

In addition to our quick-strike targets in the , we also saw some incredible new highs from the SPY 07/12 $443-445 Calls, which we had just given an update on the INTU Weekly $460-465 Calls, in yesterday’s report.

Clean Sweep on Options, New Plays

Options Recaps:

We came in fresh off of the 4th of July holiday yesterday morning, and despite having zero big name earnings reporters to work with, we still put together a slate of four potential options plays that all turned in good performances on the day. Today is going to be similarly challenging in that regard, but as always we’ll strive to ID whatever is worth a look.

In yesterday’s case, we swept the board with all four of our selections. They were the SPY 07/05 $441-442 Calls, the AMD Weekly $115-116 Calls, the DUK 08/18 $90-95 Calls, and the RIVN Weekly $20.50-21 Calls. Here is the breakdown of the moves they made for us on the session:

Thursday’s Movers, Fresh Play Friday

Thursday’s Big Runners:

We kept things moving yesterday with regard to our never-ending daily quest for hot options trades. Our premarket report contained five sets of ideas based off of a big day for earnings, and of those, four returned some very nice chances for intraday profit. We’ve got some nice names on the board today, so we feel confident that we can carry this success into the weekend.

Yesterday’s big opportunities came in the form of the TTWO Weekly $139-141 Calls, the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls, the BABA Weekly $90-92 Calls, and the BBWI Weekly $36-37.50 Calls. The moves they recorded were fairly impressive. Here’s how the session shook out:
