 Why I’m Watching 25-Cent Options Right Now
(And You Might Want To, Too)Everywhere you look, traders are pouring thousands into options on the biggest names in the market. But what if I told you some of the most explosive setups right now are trading for just 25 cents?
It sounds crazy… but there’s a very specific reason why these cheap trades are showing up. It has to do with pre-scheduled dates—moments when the market historically sees sharp moves in certain stocks.
By targeting these predetermined windows, I’ve been able to spot trades priced at a quarter that have gone on to deliver big.
⚠️ And here’s the kicker:
A new round of these “cheap setups” is about to hit.

Market Editorial - Chuck Crow
The Start of this Week
The open this week is 6422.75. This is the highest weekly open since 6450.00 in the last week of July. The markets have seen substantial gains after the drop on August 1. Last week ES futures saw the market climbing 168.25 points on a range of 175.50 points. On July 28 the market moved to a high at 6457.75, and then exceeded that high in the early hours of July 31 with an all time high at 6468.50. Those numbers are the resistance this market faces. On the support side of the market, the lows of the most recent days, 6369.25, 6334.50, and 6313.25 are the major levels. Also included is the open of August at 6359.50
This Week’s Stock to look at:
Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) made a big move last week by first moving above 70.00 on Thursday, and then continuing the rally on Friday to 72.36. The next reasonable are of resistance would likely be around 75.00. The last time CSCO was higher was in March of 2000 when the stock rallied to 82.00, and in April of 2000 the high was 77.00. By May of 2000, the high of the month dropped to 71.88. 75 is the number to watch, but a break of 77.00 should lead the market to challenge resistance at 82.00. CSCO reports earnings on Thursday.
Last Week’s Stocks
ED rallied to 106.16 on Friday, but dropped back down immediately to 103.86. Last week the risk was assessed as the higher of 103.56 (the low of August 1) or last week’s low, which was 103.50. Therefore if ED moves below 103.56 we walk away from this position with a loss. If they can carry through on the 106 break and move higher, then the risk will be adjusted with the current week’s low.
WBA climbed all the way to 11.95. The stock is on a roll. Last week’s low was 11.64 on Aug 4. WBA’s biggest move was a rally on Aug 6 that moved from a low at 11.67 to a high at 11.84. The stock is closing in on resistance at 12.00. The real risk is still 11.64, but start watching that 11.84 area as it could develop into support.
