Options Recap, OTC Bottom-Watch Play

Incredible Options Gainers: 

We finished out last week with an absolute bang as we signaled a wide range of options ideas in Friday morning’s report that would churn out opportunities for enormous intraday gains.

The top runners of our day were our targets in the SPY Weekly $379-380 Calls, the AVGO Weekly $445-447.50 Calls and the COST Weekly $320-315 Puts. We had a range of ideas in the GPS chain but the gains didn’t compare with the following huge winners.

Just look at the trading ranges and total possible single-session gains that were on the table with these plays:

SPY Weekly $379-380 Calls
$379:  .24-5.76 (+2300%)
$380: .16-4.77 (+2881%)
____

AVGO Weekly $445-447.50 Calls
$445: .45-6.10 (+1256%)
$447.50: .35-3.71 (+960%)
____

 COST Weekly $320-315 Puts
$320: 6.66-13.00 (+95%)
$317.50: 5.85-11.60 (+98%)
$315: 4.14-9.33 (+125%)

Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 03/08 $382-383 Calls (Expires this afternoon!)
XPEV Weekly $28-30 Calls

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC

For a little OTCQB action, we want to go ahead and tag CCTC for observation. The stock appears ready to start coming off of being oversold.

It had a nice run toward the beginning of the year, and we’re going to place it on watch for the possibility of similar future activity, with primary resistance at the current 50DMA of .013, and the MACD indicating the possibility of an impending reversal.

Options Updates

S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – We tagged the SPY 11/23 $218.50-220 Calls for observation on Monday, and wanted to circle back around to relay the excellent moves it went on to make.

$218.50 Calls– Range: .90-2.24 – Max Gain: 149%
$219 Calls – Range: .58-1.83 – Max Gain: 216%
$219.50 Calls – Range: .35-1.30 – Max Gain: 271%
$220 Calls – Range: .19-.89 – Max Gain: 368%

Keep in mind that trading these today would essentially be akin to trading normal weekly contracts on a Friday, a risky venture that we always warn is to be attempted only by advanced traders.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – PBR was the subject of another idea we formulated on Monday morning, and it too provided the activity we needed to see our highlighted targets post some solid performances. Our contracts of interest here were the PBR Weekly $9.50-10.50 Calls
and while they didn’t move quite as much as the SPY calls, the potential gains were still significant.

$9.50 Calls– Range: .68-1.00 – Max Gain: 47%
$10 Calls – Range: .30-.54 – Max Gain: 80%
$10.50 Calls – Range: .08-.21 – Max Gain: 163%

Unlike the aforementioned play, these contracts don’t expire until the end of the Friday’s half session (1PM).

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC

The characteristic volatility that we’ve come to expect from CCTC showed it face this week, as the stock turned the bottom-bounce from the end of last week into a multi-day run that has persisted ever since.

We placed the stock on watch earlier this month, and after a short period of consolidation it finally established a base at .105, before running to yesterday’s new high of .2835. That marked a upswing totaling 170%

We’ll look for the possibility of a breach of the 200DMA currently sitting at .302, a break past which point would send the stock into blue skies, while keeping in mind that the volatility we mentioned could come into play. We’ll need to be open to the chance of the stock consolidating again before gearing up for another run. One thing’s for sure, the rapidity with which this play can cover large amounts of ground on the chart makes it worthy of continued observation.

Potential Momentum Plays

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC – In a characteristic move, CCTC repeated the history of its own chart, as a stock that seemingly likes to make volatile swings to the upside. It breached its 50DMA in a bullish manner yesterday, so we are going to tag it for observation today in the event of continued momentum.

The chart is showing a series of ripening indicators as well. In order to hold our attention, CCTC will need to maintain support at or above that 50DMA, currently at .153 on any pullbacks.


______

Eleven BioTherapeutics, Inc. EBIO – EBIO is a stock we’ve come back to on several occasions in the past, and today, we want to circle around to point out its current status as a bottom-bouncing momentum play.

It hit four-month lows just five sessions ago, and has made a decent effort at a rebound since then, so we’ll keep it on watch for the possibility of further recovery.

Options Ideas

We’ve got a couple of earnings-related options ideas this morning as well. As our regular readers are surely aware, post-earnings options trading is one of our favorite and most reliable ways of rooting out rapid short term gain opportunities.

Shake Shack, Inc. SHAK – Weekly $35.50-37 Calls

Macy’s, Inc. M – Weekly $38-41 Calls

______

Reminder: We’re also still tracking our idea on Starbucks from last Friday, the SBUX Weekly $53.50-55 Calls. The stock has traded up to nearly $55 in the premarket today, so we’ll be open to the possibility of seeing our gains extended there.
