Blitz Daily: Monday’s Midday Sell-off Spurs Bearish EV Options Activity

by | Nov 22, 2021 | Crypto

In Monday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at Chinese EV company Nio as shares rally to start the week.

Normally, we talk about the top institutional order flow with call buyers… 

But as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 sold off early in the day, we saw downside bets rule the day with put buying and loads of calls being sold.  

Traders came after our good friend Nio Inc. as shares close in on new three-month highs, gaining about 13% and outperforming other companies in the Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (Nasdaq: PGJ) by more than 6.5% over that period!

Bears were knocking on the door Monday and ready for the party to end. They swept up about 3,000 contracts of the Nov. 26 $43 strike put options for more than $223,000 of premium! 

But that’s not the only overcharged stock seeing bearish flow today, I have three more options plays waiting below…

  • Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO): Nov. 26 $43 PUT.
  • Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR): Dec. 17 $20.50 PUT.
  • Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F): Dec. 3 $21 PUT.
  • Skechers USA Inc. (NYSE: SKX): Dec. 17 $51 CALL.

Check out my short video, and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in less than two minutes!

Blitz Daily With Lance Ippolitto

At Weekly Blitz Alerts, we like to print money, baby! I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Lance, how do we do that? Print money? Come on…”  

But in all seriousness, we follow the big fish and what they’re buying. And we do that with my proprietary Blitz Tracker, which alerts me to big, institutional options order flow throughout the day. Then we get in on these plays and follow the “smart money.”  

By doing this, we cash in whether the broader market is going up, down or sideways. 

The Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito is where I go over a handful of options trades that hit my Blitz Tracker each day, Monday through Thursday. I will break down the trade with the sexiest order flow and tell you exactly what I think can happen with that stock by the next day’s opening bell.

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.
