Blitz Daily: 3 Bearish Trades Hitting the Tape as Selling Continues

by | Jan 24, 2022 | Crypto

In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at data analysis company Palantir Technologies as the markets continue to rotate out of growth stocks. 

There’s blood on the streets… and I love it!

Remember when Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood forecasted a 40% return in Ark’s portfolio? Well, we’re not even through January, and that path is getting tougher by the day… 

Palantir Technologies — one of her disruptive technology fund’s major holdings — saw another major leg down during Monday’s trading as markets sell off ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Reserve press conference.

Shares of the big data stock sank more than 13% from Friday’s close as bearish traders were betting there’s more downside to come — grabbing over 5,200 contracts of the March 18 $12 strike puts for more than $640,000 in premium!

The stock, however, rallied hard along with the broader market, closing down less than 1.5%. 

But with markets trending down, there’s plenty more bearish flow where that came from…

    • Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE): May 28 $45 PUT. 
    • Datadog Inc. (Nasdaq: DDOG): March 18 $110 PUT. 
    • Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR): March 18 $12 PUT.

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

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.
