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:

Recap of Friday’s Session, 3 New Ideas

Friday Recap:

It was a fairly muted session to end last week’s short week. We didn’t have any options reporters to work off of, and just included some quick strike SPY ideas and a couple longer-term watchlist items in our premarket report. While the SPY targets did yield some good intraday opportunities, the results from the other two were lackluster and need more time to mature over the next few weeks.

Our positive movers from Friday were the SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls, and the UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls, which recorded the following figures:

SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls
$598:
.13-.30 (+131%)
$599: .09-.19 (+111%)
_____

UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls
$510: 15.80-17.15 (+8%)
$515: 13.50-14.35 (+6%)

Tuesday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

A Solid Half Day:

We performed pretty well for Tuesday’s half day before the holiday recess. We had hashed out a trio of possible options trading targets in our premarket report for the day, all of which were bullish. The markets surged rather nicely right from the opening bell up to the early close, and our interests ended up posting some solid upswings for the session. We’re going to be pretty dry on earnings reporters through the new year, but we’ll continue to manage as always.

Our plays on Tuesday were the AMD Weekly $127-128 Calls, the NVDA Weekly $140 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $435 Calls. These were their best moves for Tuesday:
