Tech Options Surge on Strength of iPhone Sales

by | Sep 12, 2022

In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take another look at technology titan Apple as analysts swoon over iPhone early sales outlooks.

This past week’s optimism carried over into Monday, and stocks are on the move!

Tech names jumped at the open, with the Nasdaq surging around 1.1% with the S&P 500 not far behind, thanks to strong sales projections for the iPhone 14.

JPMorgan analysts reiterated their overweight rating for the top tech stock, citing stronger-than-expected demand for the premium smartphone models as expected delivery dates were pushed back to mid-October. 

Shares of Apple soared as high as 4.35% Monday as institutional buyers looked to leverage the sentiment in the options ladder.

My scanners spotted phenomenal repeat order flow, with one trader sweeping up about 700 contracts of the Sept. 16 expiration, $162.50 calls for around $290,000 in premium!

Of course, that’s not the only stock seeing outsized options orders Monday. In fact, I have two more top tech trades waiting below… 

  • JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq: JD): Nov. 18, $67.50 CALL.
  • Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): Sept. 16, $162.50 CALL. 
  • Fortinet Inc. (FTNT): Oct. 21, $55 PUT

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

P.S. I’ll never forget the day…

I was sitting down with a Nasdaq market statistician while he explained the calculations he used to determine bullish and bearish moves.

And what he said blew me away…

I couldn’t stop thinking about it, wanting to put what I learned into use in my OWN trading…

Fast forward four years later and I did it!
