Bullish and Bearish Options Ideas

Ehang Holdings Ltd. EH – Recap:

Things have been cooling on the options front this week as we struggle through a period of extreme low numbers of daily earnings reporters. It’s the volatility following these earnings dumps that provides us with the big gain chances we’re always after.

We have been managing to find plays here and there, however, and one of our ideas from yesterday morning, the EH Weekly $40-45 Calls, did post some solid intraday gains for us. Out of our pair of designated targets, one achieved multibag status while the other fell just a couple of percentage points short.

Here are the total moves and possible profits on the session for those plays:

EH Weekly $40-45 Calls 
$40: 3.98-7.90 (+98%)
$45: 2.34-4.80 (+105%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ll be flipping bearish on ORCL today, and are also taking a longer-term look at SAGE, which has fallen off a cliff this week.

SAGE 08/20 $60-65 Calls 

ORCL Weekly $79-77.50 Puts

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

Also in that same June 8th report, we tagged PHIL, a subpenny play that underwent a nice dip-and-rip and ran right into penny territory.

From a low of .0055, we’ve witnessed the stock make a run to its new high of .015 yesterday. That works out to a highly respectable run of 173% Volume over the same period has been greatly increased as well, so we’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for continued momentum.

PureCycle Technologies Inc. PCT – Update:

We entered a longer-term recovery idea for the PCT options chain in yesterday morning’s premarket report on a purely technical basis, and it provided instant results.

It was exhibiting most of the classic signals we look for in a potential rebound play. Coming off of recently established lows, a MACD converging toward a bullish cross, a heavily oversold yet rapidly strengthening RSI, and a massive gap on the chart to the upside.  You can see all of these indicators on the chart snapshot below.

We’ll continue to look for signs that PCT may continue the current trend off of last week’s lows which represented the lowest PPS for the stock in roughly 7 months. Here are the intraday gains made by our targeted options contract sets yesterday:

PCT 08/20 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 
1.88-2.80 (+49%)
$17.50: 1.25-2.10 (+68%)

Nutranomics, Inc. NNRX – Recap:

We flagged NNRX in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, which most often contains the majority of the OTC stocks we’re tracking on any given day, and the stock did end up putting forth a solid intraday performance.

It ran from a low of .0014 and went as high as .0033, which marks a daily push of 136%, and it occurred on volume of over three times the 30-day moving average.
