Fed Rate Hike Sends Yesterday’s Options Plays Soaring

Massive Options Gainers Across the Board: 

Thanks to the response to yesterday afternoon’s Fed meeting and rate hike, we came down on the right side of the fence with regard to our daily options ideas. Not only did all four of our fresh targets produce multi-bag intraday gains, but the SPY calls we had signaled on Tuesday also posted impressive new highs before their expiration at the end of the day. So we’ll start off by updating those figures, and continue on to our 4-pack of fresh winners.

Those were the AMD Weekly $95-97 Calls, the ABNB Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the SBUX Weekly $77-79 Calls, and the MRNA Weekly $150-155 Calls. The SPY targets from Tuesday morning’s report were the SPY 05/04 $414-416 Calls. The ranges on the SPY represent a two-day swing, while the gains made by the remaining four were of course for yesterday’s session alone:

Into the Thick of Earnings Season!

Keeping the Options Train Rolling:

We have been faring extremely well with regard to our recent options ideas, which carries over into 2022 a winning trend that we have established as ‘the norm’ around here. Out of the four sets of fresh targets we offered up in yesterday’s premarket report, the only one that didn’t produce instant results were the ASAN 02/18 $65-70 Calls which were intended as a longer-term play, and that we will most likely come back to in the days and weeks ahead.

As for the rest, which were the SI Weekly $125-120 Puts, the GS Weekly $372.50-365 Puts, and the OPK 02/11 $4.50-5.00 Calls, we saw gains ranging from moderate to major on the day. Here are the overall trading ranges and total possible single session profits that were up for grabs on those ideas yesterday.

Finishing Out the Trading Week with a Bang

Options Blowout Continues:

In yesterday morning ‘s premarket report, two of our three sets of fresh options ideas were bearish in nature, and despite the markets going on a tear for the session, it was those puts that fared the best.

We’re talking about the CI Weekly $225 Puts, and the ROKU Weekly $395-390 Puts, both of which recorded multi-bag intraday runs on the day. Those figures were as follows: 

CI Weekly $225 Puts
$45: 9.50-24.50 (+158%)

ROKU Weekly $395-390 Puts
$395: 4.31-10.02 (+132%)
$392.50: 3.73-8.12 (+118%)
$390: 2.92-7.30 (+150%)


Moderna, Inc. MRNA – Update:

We also wanted to swing back around to provide an update on the MRNA Calls that we initially began tracking on June 21st, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. The stock itself has exploded over that time period, from a low of 200.00 the day of our first alert, to yesterday’s new high of 443.99, a move of 122%  That move has facilitated these amazing gains in our designated options plays:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-222.50 (+847%)
$200: 18.00-241.10 (+1239%)
$210: 13.55-214.50 (+1483%)



eXp World Holdings Inc. EXPI – Update:


We’ve also been following another set of longer term calls, the EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Call, which continue to pile on the new highs for us.

EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls
$40: 1.55-10.00 (+545%)
$45: 1.30-5.70 (+338%)

These gains were made possible in part by the buzz caused by the company’s blockbuster earnings report and first-ever cash dividends. We will look to roll up our strike area to include the $50 Calls as well, with EXPI appearing ready to continue its impressive upward trajectory.
