Make sure you check out our Squeeze Engine tutorial. We’ll do another one once we roll out the updates.
Now, here’s this week’s batch of Squeeze Radar names.
We kicked off the week adding fresh exposure to Asia and the big banks — two areas showing signs of leadership.
Citigroup $C continues to be one of the best-looking setups in financials, setting the stage for a potential new leg higher.
I paid $1.12 for the 11/21 $105 calls.
Over in Asia, I like the setup in Coupang $CPNG.
Price is chopping between two VWAPs, forming a textbook pinch pattern. We’re in for both December and January expirations, giving the trade plenty of room to develop.
Our squeeze indicators are at or near record lows on the daily, weekly, and monthly charts, hinting that a big move is coming. I bought the 1/16/26 $20 calls for $1.13.
On the profit-taking side, we sold the triple in our $MSFT 11/21 $545 calls — a clean winner no matter what happens next. Despite the earnings selloff, I think we’ll get a chance to close our remaining calls higher before expiry.
I also wanted to lean further into the software theme, so I took a shot on Salesforce $CRM.
The stock looked ready to catch up to its peers, and we’re seeing short term relative strength already. I paid $5.40 for the 12/19 $290 calls.
At the same time, we balanced things out by adding a bit of defense — buying puts in homebuilders and Bitcoin, both resting on key VWAPs from their April lows.
If volatility picks up, these are the areas we expect to lead lower.
By week’s end, these laggards dug in again — which is something we’ve seen a few times recently.
And frankly, that’s fine- it’s good for us. If those end up being quick losers, we’ll have plenty more winners that are running higher on a market rebound.
The bottom line is the current environment still warrants some caution.
