Samantha’s Live Trading Room Summary
SORRY FOR DELAY - I HAD TO PREPARE FOR A 3PM PPT ON THE TRUMP TRADE FOR THE SYNERGY CONFERENCE. I WILL POST THAT VIDEO WHEN WE UPLOAD IT.
$NVDA did turn out to be a ‘premium seller’s dream’ as I warned yday when I saw the concentration of ITM calls sold = protection. Hans and I discussed this thesis & technique in our Tues #chase-live-huddle and Wed Macro-to-Micro Options Power Hour. I said “max pain $140, likely pin Friday at $150”. Seems like that is working ;-)
So is $DDOG - rec’d Tues, it has moved nicely. Next I presented: $ESTC $CFLT $MDB
$SNOW was Archna #archnas-advanced-options & Client’s Tim’s trade since $110, gapping above $130 post earnings today into 172! Like wow. The SAAS reacceleration trade continues.
$AFRM continues - $UPST ready to reset higher after digesting big earnings move?
$CLS electronic component play rec’d at $63 is now $93.
$TGTX biotech rec’d in May and again July 11th after lots of HF sponsorship getting involved in the name is now pushing to get above $36 ATH. Txs Alex! #kentons-corner-of-biopharma.
$LMND was rec’d by Tiffany #tiffs-gamma-flow beginning of Nov (with ROOT) and has rocketed from 20 to 50 in under a month.
NAT GAS plays gapped up - just did a whole review this week on this theme.
$BTCUSD is still moving into $130-135K PT (from mid-Oct call) as $MARA recovers nicely after its expected back-n-fill.
$MSTR tagged an interim high PT of 529.87 which I warned live today was resistance before it turned sharply lower and dumped 31% peak to trough, creating a bearish engulfing candle on the daily chart, erasing but only 2 days of profits and bouncing off the 8D. THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE SMCI FEB ‘24 when I timed the interim top on a Friday with a lotto that made 10X that day, at the same time I said it wouldn’t surprise me one bit for MSTR t to continue higher before it reverses lower for good. I have never liked SMCI as clients know, but ponzis are tradable!! MSTR BTC count as such. https://samanthaladuc.com/p/how-the-option-market-brought-down?r=1nwzxc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
$GOOGL chase short near open was really good: From 174 down to 164, the news on DOJ breakup of its Chrome search was enough for me to call the 200D as PT. It tagged perfectly before bouncing.
Despite the escalation in Russia/Ukraine, the White House is quiet. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn and Trump hasn’t announced a Treasury Secretary (none of them are qualified for an industrial renaissance so I assume he will pick the die-hard loyalist who supports tariffs and devaluation of the dollar.)
There is buying under the surface, and breadth is fine for now as VIX stays controlled.
USD is rising into 107 and bonds are still not ready to bounce. EURUSD + GBPUSD are very weak and USDJPY looks ready to fall with EURJPY way ahead of it.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
APP - parabolic
ARM - has some profit taking.
BA - still good if it can hold.
DDOG - the next software play.
GOOGL - news knocked it back.
IWM over 232 we push to 235, 238, 240
LLY - Sure to hit 672
MNDY - ok.
META - Sure to hit 544
MCD - Sure to hit 279
MSTR - 529.81 (W) a level to watch. Tagged 550 hourly; back under 500 now this morning.
MARA - going to behave. Slow to launch. Good right now; Above 25.00 hourly. Not worried above this one. Be patient.
NVDA - beat top & bottom line; congrats. Call Wall 150 | Max Pain 140. Rate of Growth is slowing. Could "pin" at 150 by Friday. Looking for chips to base & move higher now that earnings are past. Awesome.
PLTR - ok
SYM - ok.
SMH - 272 still on the table.
SMCI - wont' know for days still (on the delisting).
SNOW - congrats if you stayed in this; earning blow-up. touching 161 on the hourly. Above the 100(W) moving hour now. A freak of nature. 168.80 pt & then digesting. Down slopping 200-day will be an issue. Outlyers revert w/ velocity. Selling calls on this makes sense.
SQ - still fine.
TSLA - bullish; could do a call spread since it is so extended from the mean. 345 / 360 perhaps
UNG - chase worked; Stay above 14.95 (monthly).
-- -- -- NAT GAS - Possible Sector Rotation Plays - Continues to Perform well.
AROC - extended but has a closer base. nat gas play.
AR - in play;
CNX - extended. (extremely). nat gas play.
CRK - another nat gas play.
EQT - nat gas play.
ET - hot; has some call buying. another gas play
FCG - like it above 28.65(W) - thats the key.
KGS - a freak of nature. Another nat gas play.
KMI - another nat gas play
LNG - nat gas play.
RRC - another nat gas play.
UNG - 15.00(W) ... big level to get above. Has a down-slopping 200-day MA. Don't like this one.
WMB - another nat gas play
IGV Theme (SASS re-acceleration)
New ones added to this theme
CFLT - SASS re-acceleration
ESTC - another SASS acceleration
