CVS Health Corporation Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of CVS Health Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 75usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2023-9-15,
for a premium of approximately $2.55.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
4CVS trade ideas
CVSAside from the scam close in June, today was the first close above the 50 sma since December of last year. Filled the gap from that day today as well so I lightened my position into the close & bought some lotto puts in case the resistance wants to hold. Looking to add on any pullback if we get one. $90 by September opex would be sweet.
CVS Long Term Reversal Forming?CVS has been beatdown over the last few months but seems to have found a strong support around the 66-67 area and has been trying to stay above the 70 range. It recently gapped back down under 70 because of NASDAQ:WBA (Walgreens) poor guidance. If it can beat this key level and bounce of this support and its moving averages then we can expect CVS to reverse the trend.
Confirmation is still needed so we will watch what happens over the next month.
CVSLike the setup here. Added a starter position on some calls today with multiple expirations. Looking for this month to finish right around where it is now to form a doji candle. If this happens, I'll add to my position looking for a move back towards the 0.618 fib of the decline (~$90) in the coming months. Will ditch the position if we get a daily close below this month's low.
$CVS Finally Breaking Out?Back on April 6, 2023, I posted a NYSE:CVS chart as it was looking like a breakout then and I started a small position. It quickly failed the that day, and I was out. Fast forward to yesterday June 1 and I determined it was breaking out of the long term down trend again, so I added a starter position. It’s following through today, so I’ve added more and brought it up to a half-sized position. See my notes on the chart. This may be an actionable name “if” it fits with your trading style. My stop is tight. I will close out if it closes below yesterday’s low ($68.05). This is about a good as risk reward as I have found for awhile now.
(As a side note, the downtrend is a stage 4 it is unlikely that it will flip to a stage 2 right away. I’m simply looking for a trade and will close out if it starts to stumble, hopefully with a nice 10% to 15% gain or more.)
Ideas, not investing / trading advice.

CVS long to $80Risk to Reward (R/R): 1 to 13.61
Got my limit order filled this morning after waiting for 4 trading days. Trading with limit orders at larger time frame support eliminates any impulsive buying on a dip. The market must take me in at a desired price for my participation. There's always a designated entry, stop and minimum of 1 price target.
Limit Order: 75.10 (20 day moving average support)
Stop: 74.74
PT #1: 80 (50 day moving average resistance)
This is a mean reversion and technical bounce play.
Low risk / high reward!
$CVS Breaking Out?First in full disclosure, I started a small position in this name today.
Despite having a downgrade today, the price is improving. As noted on the chart, CVS has been in a downtrend since December of 2022. It looks to have broken out today. In addition, we have 3 short-term MA’s turning up which also makes a good stop loss area. Volume has just been so so but if you look at the bottom of the chart you will notice that we have a rising MACD signal. And we have a nice, rounded bottom. I’ll look to add to my position if it can continue to improve in price. All TBD. Ideas, not investing / trading advice.
CVS back on the tableSince the last trade, we've been waiting for some signal to get back in. This may be early, but I'm ok averaging down to 63 if needed. With insulin changes coming, expect huge uptick in foot traffic in CVS. Also many new hype drugs/eldery boomer care coming on the market for, Weight loss, Alzheimer's, over the shelf hearing aids.
