Market Primer, Feb 21st

February 21, 2021 By Steven Place


Short Retracements

JMIA

Short opps into 59-60, then 61 previous support, then 65.

Option Strategy

April 65/50 Put Spread Buys

EXPI

Any retrace into high 70s and start looking for a rollover.

Option Strategy

March 70/55 Bear Put Spread

NVAX

Look for push into 300.

Option Strategy

April 240/200 Bear Put Spread

YY

Nasty liquidity break on Friday. Look for retrace into 135 for entries.

Option Strategy

March 125/120 Bear Put Spread

Hangover Trades

Should get a sell the news event as CCIV finally signs the deal with Lucid. Into the low 40s I want to sell some puts.

Right now CCIV March 30 puts going for 4 bucks, that’s a pretty good premium to work with.

CLOV

The stock is a dog but I expect the floor at $10 to hang around for a bit.

Option Strategy

March 10 Put sale with intent to roll to April looks good.

AMC

Look for the floor on the stock to get taken out, then start layering into some bullish exposure. Can easily see another pop if/when things unlock.

Option Strategy

Long Jun 8 Call

Sell 2x Jun 4 Puts

Capture a credit.

SOL

Stock has already been crushed a good amount, I know this because I had long calls on the 25 breakout (doh!). Right now, the March 12.5 put sales look juicy with intent to scale in.

Momentum Trades

CCL

Lotta open space here if it gets going. We’ll probably see a few false starts, so sell into breakouts and rebuy into the “failed breakout” pattern.

Option Strategies

Aggressive: March 35 Calls Lotto

Still Aggressive but not as much: April 30/40 bull call spread

SPI

EV play, been consolidating since it’s parabolic run to $45. This will probably chop everyone up to death, then when all the spec options expire in March, it’ll start to run.

Option Strategy

Aggressive: April 20 Call Lottos

Conservative: April 15/20 bull call spread with April 7.5 Put sale

F

Ford, of all things, looks like it’s about to go parabolic, looking for some absurd push to $15.

Option Strategies

Aggressive: April 15 Calls

Conservative: April 12/15 call spread buys, financed with April 10 put sales

SPACtion

BTWN

Stock starting to clear, looking for push to 20+

GIK

Scale into dips, looking for a push to $20. EV play.

NSH

This is a pre-DA SPAC. It’s run by a bunch of spooks — CIA, DNI, and so on. They’ll probably bring something like a PLTR/SNOW onto the market. I’m in, and will add on dips, then sell some into any whisper of a DA target.

Income Trades

SMH

March/April 320 put calendar if SMH runs to 260

SPX

April Unbalanced Iron Condor

Selling 2x 3490/3500 Put Spread

Selling 1x 4100/4110 Call Spread

Credit: 4.00

Roll and add to call spread if/when SPX rips

Aggressively take profits on the call spread into dips then resell into rips.

XLE

March/April 45 put calendar into any push into 48

BIDU

March 410/420 bear call spread if the stock pushes to 356-360 early in the week.

Bull Put Spreads

Watching:

  • QQQ
  • IBB
  • TSLA
  • FSLR
  • GOOGL
  • PYPL

Into any extended Nasdaq weakness this week. Short option starts with 20 delta, looking at 3-5 wide spreads.
