In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at tech king Apple as the bears look for protection against this week’s tech earnings.
After two happy days with markets in the green, there’s a lot of bearish options action hitting the Blitz Tracker on Tuesday — especially in tech names. And with so much on the line for the market with Google parent company Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) set to report after the bell Tuesday, traders don’t want to be wiped out in the event of another downside move.
One bet that caught my attention saw traders take an oversized position in one of last week’s market heroes, Apple. One big bear dropped over $900,000 in premium on the March 11 $170 strike puts, with more than 7,500 contracts traded on the day!
Of course, that’s not the only flow hitting the scanner Tuesday… I’ve got more bearish action waiting below…
- Honeywell International Inc. (Nasdaq: HON): Feb 4 $200 PUT.
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: APPL): March 11 $170 PUT.
- LivePerson Inc. (Nasdaq: LPSN): March 18 $30 PUT.
- Farfetch Ltd. (NYSE: FTCH): April 14 $30 CALL.
