The SPY continues its levitation over the 21 ema, all dips are being bought and for the second day in a row it is stuck below the big 600 level. Megacap tech is finally participating in the rally which has not been a thing recently. META,AMZN,MSFT are all outpacing the SPY for the first time in a long time. If these megacaps can catch a bid here we could be in for a strong santa rally. The next couple days should be fairly slow with thursday being a holiday and a half day on friday. We also got a ceasefire in the middle east which probably ends up helping alot of names that were always on edge of an escalation.
My recent trade on IBIT I mentioned selling calls vs my position, they just opened weekly options on IBIT, those were not available last week when it started trading options so I rolled down my December 70 monthly calls to 59 calls next week for a small credit over .10 and I plan on selling weekly calls vs my position instead of monthly calls as long as I hold it. I will adjust the levels week to week but in general trying to target 10-15% otm calls and if it happens to make a sharp move I can close up the trade for a big profit or roll them out.
