On Friday's Options Action, the crew analyzed the performance of Netflix (NFLX) stock. NFLX has recently broken out to the upside of a 10 year ascending wedge formation, which is extremely bullish. That bullish trend has however turned parabolic, which suggests that there are greater risks to the downside and primed for a possible correction. Coupled with a double top formation and earnings this week, the stock would need a signifcant beat to continue it's bullish trend. Expecting NFLX to possibly pull back on earnings, Michael Khouw suggests buying an Aug 350/370/395 Put Butterfly for a $5.00 Debit. As of Friday's close, this spread is trading at $5.00.
