Hello!
Well-received earnings from Amazon and Intel are helping. to lead stocks markets higher this morning. The QQQs are higher by about 0.8%. Whether this bounce in the market holds is anyone’s guess, but as mentioned here on the Orbit going back to September, many traders were eyeing the $412 level in SPY during this selloff. We spoke about potential short positioning/hedges based on the expected move and when options were pricing the potential for that level to the downside. So now that that level has been reached, let’s look at the current expectations of options into year end:
SPY options are pricing about a 5-6% move into end of year. That means those looking for that year-end rally would be looking to catch a ride up to about the $435 level. And, if this level wasn’t to hold and the market got ugly into year-end, options are currently pricing about the $390 level. We’ll circle back with some year-end trade set-ups over the next few days.
