Are you looking for a new investing opportunity? The Extreme Investor Network has your back! Today, we’ll be discussing the recent performance of Expedia Group (EXPE) and a potential options trade to consider.
Despite initially exceeding expectations, Expedia Group saw a sharp drop of over 8% following their earnings conference call due to weak forward guidance. However, in the past month, the stock has managed to recover most of its losses and is now facing a crucial test around the $128 price level.
To help confirm a bearish bias on EXPE, we’re utilizing three key technical indicators:
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index): RSI measures the strength of a trend, and we’ve noticed a loss of upward momentum as RSI has flattened out since June 10.
2. DMI (Directional Movement Index): The DI lines on the chart have started changing direction, indicating a possible trend reversal.
3. ADX (Average Directional Index): ADX has been consistently dropping, suggesting that the recent rally may have lost steam.
Given these indicators, we are considering a “bear put spread” options trade on EXPE. This strategy involves buying a $124 put and selling a $123 put with a July 5th expiry. The cost of this trade is $50, with the potential to double our money if EXPE is trading at $123 or below on the expiration date.
Keep in mind that $128 is a key resistance level for EXPE, so if the stock continues to climb, there may be opportunities for trades at higher strikes. For example, a $129-$128 bear put spread could be a solid setup if EXPE hits $128 in the coming days.
