Stocks to Watch

SOFI 0.00%↑

SOFI has spent much of the June/July trade attempting to move higher off of the support built around $15-16.

In addition to the positive price action, SOFI saw a rather large amount of call positioning take place during Friday’s session.

The calls occurred with SOFI trading in the 18.6-18.8 range and look for a continuation to the $20 area.

This week’s SOFI gamma exposure shows much of what you’d expect from Friday’s bullish price action and option activity. Long gamma exposure above $19.

SOFI net gamma via SigmaTerminal
  • SOFI pivots

    • Long >19

      • Target 20

        • Continued strength >20 targets gamma exposure at 21

    • Below 19 simply needs more time, I remain bullish on this stock and think it can continue much higher.


AMZN 0.00%↑

AMZN spent much of the last few weeks of trade testing 247-250, rejecting, trading lower to support and back higher to test again.

With AMZN continuing to move in a way that compresses volatility, it is no surprise that traders spent much of Friday’s session positioning for a move outside higher from this consolidation. The consolidating price action was also in unison with extremely skewed bullish option activity.
