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:

SPY 05/04 $414-416 Calls
$414: 4.22-16.00 (+279%)

New Options Ideas

FireEye, Inc. FEYE – Options Ideas

The first earnings play to catch our eye this morning is based off of the beat just posted by FEYE during aftermarket hours yesterday. The company’s earnings rose to a record high, and its Q2 revenues also registered as an all time quarterly high.

As a result, FEYE is looking attractive to us on a short and longer term basis. Accordingly, we are going to begin tracking a couple of different sets of ideas for the FEYE chain, the FEYE Weekly $14-15 Calls & 08/14 $15.50-16 Calls



More Options Ideas

The earnings calendar is jam packed once again, and here are a couple of the other big name reporters that are gaining our attention here in the premarket. Stocks in general are rising today in advance of the 2PM Fed Meeting.

Options Review

Despite an unproductive session for the markets as a whole yesterday, two of our three fresh options ideas for the session bucked the trend and panned out quite well on the day. We had some ideas for both the RNG and ROKU chains that produced respectable intraday moves for us.

Here were the total possible profits that were there for the taking, some of which did reach multi-bag status for the session:  

RNG Weekly $220-225 Calls
$220
: 6.10-12.93 (+112%)
$225.50
: 6.35-10.69 (+68%)
$225
: 3.53-9.30 (+163%)
_____

ROKU Weekly $134-136 Calls
$134: 10.45-15.45 (+48%)
$135
: 9.55-14.95 (+57%)
$136
: 9.25-14.17 (+53%)

Based on premarket activity we’re seeing this morning, we would expect both RNG and ROKU to tack even more gains onto these ideas for us today.

PCT Ltd. PCTL – Recap

We tracked PCTL to some pretty impressive gains following our initial alert on the play just under two weeks ago. We continued tagging it in our extended watchlist into this week, and after a brief consolidation, we observed more bullish activity out of the stock.

On Wednesday, PCTL dipped to a low of .0095, very briefly existing as a subpenny play once again, before making its next move. That led to a high of .02 yesterday, which represents a two-day swing of 111%

T2 Biosystems, Inc. TTOO

We’re always scanning for a good rebound candidate, and that’s what we found in TTOO this morning. The stock is sniffing out a bottom, and has just fallen off of an absolute cliff. Now with a massive gap to the upside and considerable volatility potential, we’re going to begin monitoring it for its ultimate bottom and eventual recovery.

TTOO is egregiously oversold, sitting at an annual low, and could be just days away from a convincing turnaround. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for just such an event.
