A Winner Returns To Our Entry Zone

On September 29th, we closed a bullish trade in a biotech for a gain of approximately 360% on our original maximum risk, before fees. The stock had rallied sharply, and its 14-day relative strength index (RSI) finished that session near 77—in overbought territory.

Historical closed biotech trade: May 21 premium debit $380 and maximum risk $580; full exit completed September 29, net exit proceeds $2,466 before fees and profit $2,086; approximately 360% on original maximum risk before fees.

By Wednesday evening, the shares had pulled back about 20% from their late-September high. The daily RSI was back near 49, inside our “Goldilocks” entry zone of 40–60. The clinical case remains compelling to us, with additional data and a business update ahead, so today’s bullish order revisits the same company at a more attractive technical entry.

The idea comes from our Multibaggers list: a tracked group of outside analysts with multiple recent winners that gained 100% or more. Those accounts are a subset of our Market Watchers X list. For this re-entry, we’re using an options structure that preserves additional exposure to an early rally.

A Bearish Bet On Spending Pressure

Our second options trade is a short-term asymmetric bearish one. September’s 9.1% jump in gasoline prices leaves households with less room for discretionary purchases. High financing costs add pressure: the average 30-year mortgage rate reached 7.40% last week. Those conditions can weigh on spending tied to homes and larger purchases.

The stock passed our new Earnings Downgrades in a Downtrend screen, which we developed in conjunction with a frontier AI model. It combines downward earnings revisions, weak relative strength and a bearish price trend with a consolidated technical setup.

We’re expressing that view around an upcoming earnings report. A weak result could produce a decline worth several times the premium at risk; a favorable surprise could cost us the entire debit. The short duration keeps the trade focused on that earnings window.
