Bulls Play the EV Squeeze as Markets Hit 52-Week Lows

by | Sep 27, 2022 | Options

In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at EV-charging name ChargePoint as industry news lifts shares.

Stocks skipped off of Monday’s lows at the open, but the bulls couldn’t hang on and the major indexes flipped red again by lunchtime on the East Coast.

We saw a lot of the high-flying tech and growth names squeeze this morning before markets plunged to new 52-week lows.

Shares of EV-charging station company ChargePoint were up as much as 8.5% after Hertz Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) inked a deal with the electrification arm of BP PLC (NYSE: BP) to provide ports for its burgeoning fleet of electric cars.

The news sparked a stampede of bullish bets in CHPT, with big-money traders scooping up more than 1,350 contracts of the Oct. 7 expiration, $15 strike options for over $167,000 in premium!

Of course, that wasn’t the only outsized bet hitting the scanners Tuesday…

  • ChargePoint Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CHPT): Oct. 7, $15 CALL.
  • Lucid Group Inc. (Nasdaq: LCID): Sept. 30, $15 CALL. 
  • DrafftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG): Sept. 30, $15.50 CALL.
  • Peloton Interactive Inc. (Nasdaq: PTON): Sept. 30, $9 CALL.

Check out my short video and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat!

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.
