Small caps are rallying on optimism about a rate cut. With 2026 expected to bring further support to the sector, a new Fed Chair is set to take office after the current one leaves in March.

This breakout is significant because the resistance zone formed since November 2021 and was breached 2 weeks ago. $IWM must hold this level in October.

Options traders may sell spreads at this level to collect higher premiums, as markets are expected to rally higher before year-end due to seasonality. The index should maintain this level in October to establish strong support for growth in November and December, and beyond.

An ATM put credit spread gives a decent upfront credit, thus reducing the risk in the position.

Delayed data is historically perceived as beneficial, as equities tend to appreciate on anticipation and optimism as we head into the final quarter...

Gold is nearing a fresh all-time high, approaching the $ 4,000/oz target we set in October 2023.

We are officially entering a weak-dollar territory for the upcoming decade.

The dollar index has plunged over 45% against gold.

With the new Fed Chair taking office in March 2026 and initiating quantitative easing, the dollar is likely to remain weak for the foreseeable future.

$UNH

Closed the October butterflies for a decent 9% gain.

The stock should ideally surge to the 380 level in the following days as its quarterly earnings are approaching. Retail traders may catch a short-term move up, pushing the price higher soon.

We are still holding the December Butterfly position taken in our community.

This should appreciate really well going forward into Q4, as it is aligned with our long standing bull thesis for the rest of the year.

Stock is oversold beyond imagination. It should quickly catchup to 400+ and eventually a run towards 540+ in Q1 2026.

So far it looks good with higher highs and higher lows, and small triangular pattern breakouts every couple of weeks once.

Yesterday, we closed an Iron Condor position, capturing a reasonable premium due to the high implied volatility (IV) in the October 10 series options.

Biotech stocks are risky and not our favorite, but it was just a quick in-and-out trade, thanks to their swings in the option premiums.

The stock appears to have broken out to the upside, threatening to do so again today. Check current positions (link below 👇 )

After a year of sideways movement, Williams Companies' stock is poised for a potential surge as we enter Q4 on a breakout from a triangle, as shown. 👇

Last week, we added a bull call spread to capture the move.

We closed the position for a 48% gain in just six days and rolled the profits into a new position: a short put spread with an October 17 expiry, receiving net credit upfront.

Overall, this is a risk-free play. We closed the bull call in profit and used the proceeds to finance the margin for the short put spread.
