TSLA - MyMI Short Option PlaysWe purchased a variety of options throughout these mornings Price Actions with the markets opening for the week.
As we expected in our last analysis, we were looking for a Double Rejection of or around the $214's and TSLA couldn't hold or create support above those levels. So we started looking for entries into Shorts last week but didn't stack them up until today due to the long weekend. Purchase some SPY PUTs simultaneously to see some potential settlement in the recent Bull pushes that we've seen in some good other names (some vs. our own expectation of their price actions).
Everyone has provided a strong focus on the $152-$153 Gap that hasn't been backfilled yet so we're expecting some decent pullback and at least riding this week to retest $188. If we see strong momentum in our TA Indies then we will look at $172 next at least. Well definitely be okay with a sale at the $188, a short-term reversal ride and then making our way back to $150 if we even see it that steep.
Overall we closed green for the day and expect potentially a strong push if there is an overacted sale of the current Red Descending Trend/Triangle that you can see forming.
SNBR Hedged Options StrategyPopular smart bed company Sleep Number sells beds, mattresses, pillows and bedding related products directly to customers via 600+ retail stores, telephone order, and e-commerce. Adjustable temperature, firmness, motion sensing and automatic contouring, even snoring prevention technology are part of their luxury product catering to an aging population in the middle of a health and wellness boom -- with sleep as an increasingly buzzier part of the conversation. Americans buy 16+ million new mattresses a year, spending an average of ~$1000 per unit, making it a $12.55 billion industry. More people are relocating due to job/work-from-home opportunities and changing real estate trends (opting to buy a new mattress instead of moving an old one) -- the projected steady growth could become a surge. SNBR reports earnings Wednesday after market close, and posted beats for the previous 2 Q's. Here's one argument for the stock being undervalued.
Technically minded investors might also see some promising chart patterns forming as well, and a buying opportunity after a major selloff in the last two years. However, with its recent loss of CFO and announcement that chip shortages were a challenge, an investment in SNBR would not be without uncertainty.
Here's an options investing strategy that offers both downside protection and upside potential. Make a fixed 12% (22% annualized) at maturity as long as SNBR does not fall more than 23%. Further protection: SNBR can fall 31% through expiration before you start to lose any money.

BKI hedged options strategyBlack Knight, Inc. provides integrated software, hosting, data, and analytics services for the mortgage industry. Subsidiaries include mortgage and home equity loan application platform MSP, customer account app Servicing Digital, retention and liquidation app Loss Mitigation, loan origination systems Empower and LoanCatcher, and investor/broker community LoanSifter PPE. Black Knight also offers property ownership and lien data, automated valuation models, collateral risk scores, multiple listing service, and eSign, eClosing, and remote online notarization (RON) solutions, with plans to integrate with Wolters Kluwer's eNote and eVault for complete digitization of the mortgage application and closing process.
TA-oriented investors will note a few optimistic patterns forming, as well as the CCI indicating an uptrend. But BKI also faced opposition and anti-trust regulation when it announced that it would join mortgage technology industry giant Intercontinental Exchange ICE (owner of Ellie Mae as well as the NYSE). With increased interest rates and housing inflation, will the mortgage industry take a hit?
After earnings results were released Tues morning, here's a strategy that offers some downside protection while maintaining growth potential.
Make a 10% yield (26% annualized) unless BKI falls more than 14% to below $54.59.
Start to lose only if BKI falls by more than 19% to below $51.76 as of 7/21/23.

$SPY is headed towards the 50EMA which sits at the $400 PL$SPY has taken out most of my bearish price targets and is headed towards the 50EMA which sits at the $400 PL.
This is a must hold or we'll see $396.50, $395, then the top of the downtrend breakout.
If it bounces off $400 we'll likely retest $404 before a continuation.

I wanted to follow up on the $SPY chart I posted a few days ago.I wanted to follow up on the chart I posted a few days ago, which showed the MACD and clusters of consolidation.
The current situation is that as long as $SPY maintains its daily trend, things should remain stable. However, if it fails to do so, bears may become more active and push for a retest of $405, $402.35, and possibly even a 50EMA meeting at the $400 price level. As of now, there is an inverse hammer pattern visible on both daily and weekly charts, but it is still inside on the week.
$META closed above the 9EMA again during another stress test $META managed to close above the 9EMA again during another stress test.
I'm looking for a 2-2-2u reversal with a wedge breakout on the daily.
Still a double inside week heading into tomorrow's Jobless claims and PPI data.

TSLA - MyMI Option PlaysEveryone is calling it quits on TSLA too we believe. After finding some strong support on the $188.20 Price Levels and reversing in today's trading session, we expect a $213 retest if we can close above that level for the next few days. The latest bullrun after earnings was pretty strong, and even the overall markets had a pullback of their own.
Interested to see how this week's CPI results come into play, but if we receive another decline, I believe liquidity will start picking up and investors will rush to buy stocks that they missed on the low-end (like the TSLA $101 Lows).
I do understand there are some gaps to fill between the $150-$ 160s but it looks as though TSLA is taking a breath before the next stretch of retesting the $213s.
