Mid Week Reversals On Boeing. Is Smart Money Buying The 210 Calls Just before The Close?

I like Wednesdays for mid week reversals. This week is more difficult than usual because the U.S. is at war. These aren't normal markets with the projectory being down. So here is Boeing's morning chart at 10:26 a.m. Remember the first hour of trading and the last hour of trading have the highest volumes of trading. Now two series of it's Call options. Notice the interest in the "at-money" Call options as compared to the "out-of-the-money". Call options. Daytraders are looking at "in-and-out" situations. Now this, a look at the movement one hour later. Boeing continues to go down. I have also added a look at the 205 series of Calls. They are all sliding down. .... Is there now at 11.45 a.m. an uptick? Now at 12:03 p.m. Things are stalling out again. What does Chat GPT say about this situation? All three series of these Calls are taking a beating. Now this at 12:25 p.m. Now this at 1:30 p.m. Now it's readings at the end on the day...

Rivian and V.W. Partnership News and Trading Rivian Call Options Between 3:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. On The Day Of That News

There was fresh news that we will tell you about shortly and this is how the 14.5 series of Calls on Rivian were trading at 3:11 p.m. today, a Wednesday. This is mid week news and these particular Calls will be expiring in two trading sessions. Why try to play something that short term when you are late to this party? Only insiders selling would be profiting on this news. Unfortunately that's just the way the system works. Now this. You decide. I think it has the legs to go higher. Now the news which caused the stock to jump. Notice that Rivian cracked the $16.00 range in it's early morning trading only then to sell off to the $14.36 range at 3::11 p.m. Traders jumping into this morning frenzy using short term Call options as a vehicle would have of overpaid and are stuck now in a dangerous situation. This no longer is a good short term story. Friday is only two days away. Yet there is a chance that the last h...

Day Trading Costco On A Early Monday Afternoon - And Then Following The Action For The Rest of The Week.

The options on Costco that I am about to show you don't expire until the end of the week and here is the current one day chart on Costco. It's a Monday. What do you think of this chart? Will it go up or down next? Nobody knows. Here is what the DJIA is doing? Is the stock now hitting a point of resistance? Once again, it's really to early in the week to tell. There is an "open interest" Put number from the previous session of only five contracts. Traders as of the close last Friday had no real interest in playing it down. Recent history of course tells us not to buy Puts on Costco. Why try to go against an upward trend? Why then does this chart catch my attention? It's the leverage I know the options on this stock offers. Stocks in this price range can drop five or ten dollars in only a matter of an hour and the week still still has 29 hours of trading time to go. Could buying in here now on the downside be a good short term trade? That's the questi...
