Thursday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

Thursday’s Movers:

We wrapped up the holiday-shortened trading week on Thursday morning with a premarket report that included a slate of three possible options plays. We ended things on a high note for what was already quite a solid performance for the week when all three produced excellent upswings for the session.

A Fantastic Friday, 3 Fresh Options Ideas

A Huge Day on Friday:

We really got things turned around and headed in a good direction on Friday,after including a range of three possible targets in our premarket report. All of those plays rattled off big time intraday upswings and provided traders with chances at some hefty gains. It was a choppy holiday season and first week of 2025, but with notable reporters scheduled on the earnings calendar once again starting tomorrow, hopefully Friday’s success was a hallmark of what’s on the way in the coming days.

Those big movers from Friday were the SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls, the SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls, and the CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls, and here were the major multibag runs they posted:

SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls
$585:
2.59-7.50 (+190%)
$586: 1.95-6.52 (+234%)
_____

SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls
$88: 1.50-4.68 (+212%)
$89: .87-3.83 (+340%)
_____

CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls
$10: 1.28-9.81 (+666%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 01/06 $594-596 Calls*
NVDA Weekly $147-148 Calls
TSLA Weekly $420-422.50 Calls

Reviewing Thursday’s Movers, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Thursday Recap:

We had something of a rough outing on Thursday as the post-holiday hangover continues. We had four possible plays lined up in our premarket report and saw appreciable upswings in just two of them. Although stocks currently appear on track to close out the first week of the new year with losses, we’re quite optimistic that a turnaround will begin to materialize. We should be back in business next week as earnings reporters crop up to add interest, and traders continue to shake off the cobwebs.

Yesterday’s green plays were the NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls, and the JNJ Weekly $145 Calls, and these were the intraday runs they registered in the first session of 2025:

NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls
$135:
1.60-4.24 (+165%)
$136: 1.88-3.16 (+68%)
_____

JNJ Weekly $145 Calls
$230: .20-.33 (+65%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls*
SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls*
CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls

*Trading options contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced traders
