Blitz Daily: Bullish Options Activity Heats up Amid Steel Meltdown

by | Sep 20, 2021 | Crypto

In Monday’s Blitz Daily, we’ll take a look at steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal as buying activity heats up amid Evergrande’s collapse in China.

If you remember from this past week, we saw some big puts on this company in the Daily Profits War Room. ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT) has been trending lower recently. Ore prices are down, partially due to the troubles with Evergrande and fears that the country will cut steel production. And we saw some big buyers coming in for that dip.

MT has been a favorite target for both bears and bulls. Friday saw bears picking up short-term puts for the ride lower. But Monday, the bulls took the reins and have come back repeatedly for long-term calls. One trader dropped over $279,000 on 1,000 contracts of the Nov. 19 expiration $29 calls, giving them plenty of time for the story to turn around. 

I think all steel names are buys in this environment, so be sure to look around U.S. Steel Corp. (NYSE: X), Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) and Steel Dynamics Inc. (Nasdaq: STLD) as well — and buy that blood! 

I have two more trades seeing major institutional activity… So “steel” yourself for these opportunities… 

  • ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT): Nov. 19 $29 CALL.

  • Moderna Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNA): Oct. 15 $550 CALL.

  • Palantir Technologies Inc. (NTSE: PLTR): Sept. 24 $30 PUT.

Check out my short video and I’ll break down today’s most unusual options order flow in two minutes 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.
