The market was getting frothy. I felt it in my old trader bones. When you see junk like BBBY, AMC and GME up hundreds of percent that’s not a good sign for the market overall. In fact, that’s usually the sign that a short-term top is around the corner.
That’s why my Bullseye trade of the week was buying Amazon puts, a way to play the overall market short! Here’s what happened to those options:
Over 50% in less than a week ain’t bad!

I expected the market to turn, and Amazon (AMZN) is a market stock i.e. a high Beta stock that moves with the market. It was up around 40% from the lows made in late June, one of the bigger movers for market stocks, and a massive move for such a large company in a short time. At times, the bigger the move, the less sustainable it is, and the more likely we are to see a bigger pullback. And on Friday, AMZN, along with the market, finally cracked.

Here was my reasoning for the Bullseye Pick, which was sent to subscribers on Monday morning on August 15, 2022
I hate to say it, but I am seeing a lot of stocks running out of steam right now. I think the market is going to take a breather soon and stocks are going to pull back, at least for a while.
The major averages are up around 20%+ since the lows we saw in June. This is a perfect “bear market rally” and it is getting top-heavy at this point.
We saw a record number of short sellers cover their positions last week and it fueled another big gain for the market. I don’t think we will have that luxury again this week to propel us higher.
While the QQQ is up over 20% from the lows, would you believe that AMZN has rallied 40% in the same time? That is an amazing run for a company that is worth $1.4 TRILLION now!
AMZN
AMZN has been trying for over a week to get through the 200-day moving average, but to no avail. Since that has been such a tough spot to get through, I am going to use that as my stop on this trade. That would be AMZN closing above $146.
Since I am betting against AMZN this week, I am looking for a move lower in the stock. My profit target will be $133 which is the midpoint of the Keltner channel.
It is going to be an exciting week for the markets so make sure you are ready to go!
My Trade Details:
- AMZN Sep 2 2022 140 Put near $3
- Stop : Close above $146
- Target : $133
