Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:
