Degenerate Bulls Look for a Coinbase Bounce Amid Crypto Crash

by | Nov 17, 2022 | Options

We’re officially one week from Turkey Day… But if we’re judging by the order flow, it looks like the vacation has already begun for the big-money traders…

Markets continued digesting last week’s major move higher as institutional trading volume slowed to a crawl ahead of the holiday.  

And with the big money mostly sitting on the sidelines, we’re seeing a lot of junk stocks roll across the wire…

Crypto exchange Coinbase saw its stock drop around 1% Thursday as the sector continues to navigate its way through the liquidity crisis surrounding rival exchange FTX — the biggest fraud in history.

With shares closing in on 52-week lows, the crypto bust has thrill-seeking bulls looking for a quick bounce.

Wondering what those little arrows mean and how they can help improve your trading? Get the details here!

My scanners spotted deep-pocketed degenerates sweeping up over 800 contracts of the Nov. 18 expiration, $45 strike calls for more than $240,000 in premium!

Now the way I see it, if the market isn’t trending in one direction or another, sometimes the best thing we can do is walk away — especially with short-term, directional options…

But if you must trade this choppy mess, here’s a look at the top order flow hitting the tape… 

  • Coinbase Inc. (Nasdaq: COIN): Nov. 18, $45 CALL.
  • JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq: JD): Nov. 18, $54 CALL.
  • Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX): Nov. 18, $297.50 CALL.

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
