Bulls To Back NikeOn April 25, 2017, the Nike ( NKE ) 100 day moving average (DMA) crossed above its 200 DMA Historically this has occurred 19 times with a minimum gain of 0.495%. It has a median gain of 6.655% and maximum gain of 24.969% over the next 12 trading days. When we take a look at other technical indicators, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 46.5981. RSI tends to determine trends, overbought and oversold levels as well as likelihood of price swings. I personally use anything above 75 as overbought and anything under 25 as oversold. The current reading declares the stock is neutral. The true strength index (TSI) is currently -3.6803. The TSI determines overbought/oversold levels and/or current trend. I solely use this as an indicator of trend as overbought and oversold levels vary. The TSI is double smoothed in its calculation and is a great indicator of upward and downward movement. The current reading declares the stock has ended its long-term move downward. The indicator had flattened out and is slowly beginning to move up, which is positive action for the stock. The positive vortex indicator (VI) is at 1.0529 while the negative is at 0.9499. When the positive level is higher than 1 and higher than the negative indicator, the overall price action is moving upward. When the negative level is higher than 1 and higher than the positive indicator, the overall price action is moving downward. The current reading declares the stock is moving up. The positive indicator recently crossed the negative and also is a good sign for Nike. The stochastic oscillator K value is 58.7329 and D value is 70.9708. This is a cyclical oscillator that is highly accurate and can be used to identify overbought/oversold levels as well as pending reversals and short-term activity. I personally use anything above 80 as overbought and below 20 as oversold. When the K value is higher than the D value, the price action is trending up. When the D value is higher that the K value, price action is trending down. The current reading declares the stock recently exited overbought territory. The stock does not need to drop much more for these indicators to begin moving up again. Considering the moving average crossover, RSI, TSI, VI and stochastic levels, the overall direction has the stock moving up. Based on historical movement compared to current levels and the current position in its trend channel, the stock could gain at least 1.63%% over the next 9 trading days. Half of the companies 100 DMA crossing over the 200 DMA have occurred since 2000. The median gain is 4.902% while the minimum gain is 1.312%. Movement near this median gain level is not impossible. If the stock sticks to recent resistance trendlines, the conservative movement is a gain in the 1.63-2.20% range. I always plan for the conservative plays, but this stock has plenty of upside.

OPENING: NKE MARCH 31ST 54.5/58.5/59/63 IRON CONDOR... for a 2.23 credit. (Earnings volatility contraction play). Metrics: Probability of Profit: Coin Flip Max Profit: $223/contract Max Loss/Buying Power Effect: $177/contract Break Evens: 56.27/61.23 Notes: I filled this at open, but price has moved down somewhat, so you may want to adjust the setup by a half strike or so. In any event, this thing's so narrow, that's it's almost an iron fly, so I'll look to manage at 25% of max profit.

THE WEEK AHEAD: FDX, NKE EARNINGSWith fourth quarter earnings announcements trailing off majorly here, there isn't much in the way of earnings to play, with the earnings of note for premium sellers being FDX, which announces on 3/21 after market close, and NKE (same). FDX is toward the top of its implied volatility range over the past six months (85), with NKE in the 63rd percentile over that same time period. However, background implied volatility in FDX isn't that great (29); neither is NKE (25), so the question remains whether a volatility contraction play in either of those will be particularly productive from a dollar and cents standpoint. Preliminarily, the FDX March 31st 177.5/182.5/207.5/212.5 iron condor plays 1.23 at the mid, somewhat short of the one-third the width of the wings I look for in these plays. With NKE, I would probably either go short strangle or narrow short strangle/iron fly, with the defined risk March 31st 54.5/57.5/58.5/61.5 bringing in 1.69 at the mid, which is also a bit shy of the one-quarter the width of the longs (7 wide) I like to see in an iron fly. Elsewhere, VIX continues to trundle on far below its long term one year (13.9) and three-year moving averages (15.4), extending a sub-15 drought that's been in place since mid-November of 2016, and no liquid exchange-traded fund has the metrics I want to see for a play (>70% implied volatility rank (6 month); >35% implied volatility). I've also been looking at bullish directional plays in either XOP, GDX or both, with my preference being for diagonals to allow me to work the short put over a period of a time rather than doing them as "one off", single expiry credit spreads. Examples: XOP April 21st 35 short put/June 16th 31 long put diagonal; GDX April 21st 21.5 short put/June 16th 19 long put diagonal. Both of these would be put on for a small credit, and I'll post these ideas separately.
