I have been watching the market closely and saw a lot of people make strong gains on AMD recently, especially with call contracts. I missed that move, but it got me thinking about what the next setup could be for a short-term play.
I am working with around $1,000 and looking for a realistic, high-conviction call option for this coming week. Not looking to gamble blindly, more interested in setups with a clear catalyst, momentum, or technical breakout potential.
I know a lot of activity lately has been around tech and AI names, and I have also seen discussions about earnings plays and volatility spikes driving options movement.
For those actively trading options, what tickers are you watching right now and why? Are you focusing more on earnings, momentum plays, or something else entirely?
