Big Options Runners, Trio of Fresh Plays

A Clean Sweep on Options Plays:

We finally got the lead out yesterday, with some options trading ideas that were reliant upon the markets posting a solid session.

On the menu for Wednesday were the SPY 12/21 $381-383 Calls, the NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls, and the FDX Weekly $170-175 Calls. Here was the breakdown of the intraday moves and total possible gains that were there for the taking:

Blue Apron Holdings Inc. APRN:

As tax loss season is winding down, we want to put APRN on our readers’ radars as a potential bottom bouncer to swing trade into the new year. The stock has just started to rebound off of its 52-week lows and established a higher high yesterday. We’ll be watching this potential value play over the days and weeks ahead.

Thursday’s Runners, Potential Friday Plays

Thursday’s Top Plays:

We fared rather well with the options targets we selected in yesterday morning’s premarket report, having formulated four possible plays, and being answered with significant intraday moves in three of the four. We call those pretty good odds, and will do our best to continue this run through the end of this short trading week and beyond.

As for yesterday’s winning areas of interest, we’re talking about the SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts, the GME Weekly $27-26 Puts, and the BILI Weekly $20.50-21.50 Calls. The SPY targets had the most potential for intraday trades by far, but all of the opportunities we observed were noteworthy.

SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts
$397.50: 1.17-3.85 (+229%)
