$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  I have been trading in $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  for a while, generally on the bearish side, as the SEC overhang casts a looming cloud of uncertainty over the company. I traded in it when it was stuck within the $70-80 range and made a decent amount trading that choppy range, creating strangles through sold puts and calls at the extremes of the range. I also traded  via  short positions from the top of the range, given my bias towards the downside for COIN. I was lucky that I ceased trading bearishly on COINand pivoted to other stocks, as I saw BTC increasing past the 30K range. Looking at COIN now, nearing the mid

Options Spy | TLT EFT rebound faces major test from long bond auctions

Investors continue to be optimistic about the end of the Fed's interest rate hikes, but the resumption of the rise in U.S. Treasury rates has made it difficult for stocks to gain much momentum.Several Fed officials will give their views on the economy this week, including Chairman Jerome Powell, New York Fed President John Williams and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic.Fed Governor Lisa Cook did not comment on monetary policy on Monday, but noted that the recent rise in long-dated U.S. interest rates did not appear to be driven by investor expectations of further rate hikes.Earnings season is almost over, with 80 percent of S&P 500 companies having reported their latest results, but there are still some important companies due to report this week, including Disney, Wynn Resorts and

Options Spy | Options orders indicate institutional bearish on Apple earnings

The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged on Wednesday (November 1), although pointing out that the economy is strong and does not rule out further interest rate hikes in the future, Chairman Powell's post-meeting speech still brought a boost to the market, that perhaps the Fed has finished raising interest rates, the three major indexes of US stocks collectively closed higher, and US bond interest rates fell.At the end of a two-day meeting, the Fed left its target range of interest rates unchanged at 5.25% to 5.50%, as expected. The latest statement also changed its description of third-quarter growth to "strong expansion" from "solid expansion" in September, reflecting better economic data since then.While the central bank is not so confident that financial conditions are t

On the last trading day of October, the S&P closed up, but the monthly line fell for three consecutive months, the longest monthly decline since the outbreak of the pandemic.The new wave of earnings news triggered a different reaction in the market. Caterpillar and Amgen, known as the "canary in the boom", underperformed after their earnings reports, while Pinterest and Arista Networks enjoyed huge gains after their latest results.On the data front, the U.S. consumer confidence index fell to a five-month low in October, falling for the third month in a row, weighed down by a gloomy outlook for business conditions and consumer concerns about high prices, and consumers' inflation expectations for the next 12 months rose sharply.On the political and economic front, markets await the Feder

Unusual Option Talks? Tesla's War of 200

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ finally traded below the psychological barrier of 200 at the end of October. The 10 trading days after breaking below the moving average are often days of intense speculation. Bulls will struggle, bears will continue to push down, and there will be a lot of passive selling when quantitative indicators are not met.Last week, I made a report (as of last weekend) on the volatility of Tesla's upper and lower limits after the earnings report using abnormal options. When it continued to fall after October 30th, it can be seen that there was a large amount of closing positions for calls at the 200 and below levels of the expiration date option because the short-term cost-effectiveness of long positions was not high, and investors wit

Options Spy |Put options sold by institutions suggest that Apple will not fall below 160

This week, the market is focused on the earnings of tech giants. The 10-year US bond rate, the "anchor of global asset pricing", recently broke the important 5 per cent mark for the first time in intraday trading, hitting its highest level since 2007. It is worth noting that the strong economy is still pushing up U.S. bond rates, and many institutions believe that they will not see a significant decline in U.S. bond rates this year.The results of the surge in US Treasuries were quickly reflected in the markets. The S&P 500 is down about 7 percent from its high for the year as the fixed income offered by U.S. government bonds lured investors away from stocks.Wall Street continues to report corporate earnings this week, the most concerned is undoubtedly Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Me

Options Spy | Tesla shares hit support levels

Treasury rates were volatile after a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, with the 10-year rate approaching 5%. Powell spoke at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday. Data in recent months suggest the central bank is making progress toward its twin goals of full employment and price stability, but inflation remains too high and more data pointing to sustained above-trend growth or an end to cooling in the labor market could pose risks to progress against inflation and lead to further tightening, he said.Powell said there is no evidence that policy is too tight, but given the uncertainties and risks, and the progress the central bank has made so far, the Fed will be careful to determine the extent of additional policy tightening and how long to maintain restrictive policy b

Institutional bullish META financial report, call option order turnover exceeded 10 million

Markets are watching Fed officials talk for insight into the outlook for interest rates. Whether the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates this year is still uncertain, the Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, who is known as the "Fed mouthpiece," wrote on Wednesday (18). Philadelphia Fed President Patric Harker, who has a vote on the Federal Open Market Committee this year, said the Fed should remain on hold until early next year because monetary policy has a lag effect and higher borrowing costs will drag on the economy despite recent data pointing to renewed strength in the jobs and consumer markets.Mr. Harker said the Fed is likely to wait until early next year to determine whether its rapid rate hikes over the past 20 months have been enough to tame inflation.
