Open Interest for the Last Week of September

Last week here I gave the basic SPY call and put parameters. Both Wednesday and Friday SPY did what it does best….pinned. Onto next week: Open Interest: SPY-W: (43/54 since Wednesday expiration inception).* The current best pin is between 249.5 and 250, but can easily change if there is decent price movement early in the week.

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 9/25/17

Doesn’t get much more choppy than last week. Lots of stocks had intra-day moves, but for the most part none of the stocks we like to trade had much follow through. If next week is similar than we need to keep things very short term. Last week traded mostly weeklies which was the right strategy...

Insights from the Open Interest for Next Week

Last week here I showed where there would likely be call resistance on SPY prior to expiration. At the start of the week SPY blew through the high call resistance with strong breadth and never looked back. It was one of the first times in a while SPY was able to make such a leap […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 9/18/17

A gap up Monday morning that never looked back. I will be the first to admit I wasn’t expecting that, but despite the open interest and any concerns I had, we did not try fighting SPX. It’s possible some of the move last week can be attributed to OPEX (quad witching in particular which can...

September OPEX

Last week here I suggested that both the Wednesday and Friday SPY open interest supported a rangebound week. That came to fruition and there really only was one good opportunity which came Tuesday when SPY fell below two levels of high puts. Knowing where the likely pin would be Wednesday, combined with technical support levels, […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 9/11/17

After the rally right before Labor Day the market was looking much stronger. The fact that it dropped last week back under 2470 raises some red flags despite that it is still just in a range. Next week is OPEX, which tends have a bullish bias, so I’m not necessarily going into next week thinking...

What Open Interest Says about Next Week

I’m back and here is your SPY open interest for next week. If you want the real goods you should subscribe below. SPY-W: (41 of 51 pins since Wednesday expiration inception).* The current best pin is clearly 247. There is also more puts at that strike than calls making it pretty good support coupled with the […]

Set ups and Open Interest for Week 9/04/17

For it being the last week of August a whole lot took place and seems I missed out on some of the fun. In my post last week I said I wouldn’t trust any move up until that 2429 SPX gap was filled and that if breadth wasn’t terrible when it was filled it was...
