Hammer Time in $MU

By Licia Leslie

Hi Shoppers,

 

Monday’s price action in Micron Technology (TIcker: MU) created a beautiful hammer candle:

Yesterday gave us confirmation that $MU is ready to rally.

The first level of resistance is the bottom of that gap at $137.39.

The Jul12 expiration calls have a nice skew, meaning that the at the money calls have a lower implied volatility than the out of the money calls which makes for a nice vertical spread.

I like buying the 133 calls and selling the 138 calls for around $1.60.

Use a close below $131.30 as your stop loss.

Trade Review

Both the $SPX and the $QQQ did not reverse, we still have a bullish market.

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,
