Buyers Defend QQQ 598 While VIX Surges + 16% Client February

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week’s action told us a lot about where capital wants to flow. Despite geopolitical tension and a volatility spike, buyers stepped in aggressively and defended key levels. When markets absorb bad news and rally, that is information. Today we’re breaking down why I’m extremely bullish, how I adjusted cash levels, a defensive energy play positioned for long-term demand, and a client result that proves disciplined execution works even in volatile environments.

Here’s what we are covering:

  1. My bullish market outlook and key QQQ levels

  2. Client Spotlight featuring Quan’s first 30 days

  3. Free Trade of the Week On…

  4. New portfolio additions and Palantir update

Market Snapshot

I’m extremely bullish right now. $QQQ ( ▲ 0.13% ) flushed to 598 this morning while the $VIX ( ▲ 7.96% ) spiked to 25.25, and instead of cascading lower, buyers stepped in aggressively. Given the Iran situation, I expected a deeper sell-off, but historically post-war markets tend to produce positive returns six to twelve months out as markets price forward expectations.

March seasonality also supports the bulls, averaging roughly +0.5% over the past century. On the upside, I believe QQQ can push toward 630 over the next two weeks. On the downside, I’m still watching the 591 level if we get another wave of selling. Catalysts this week include ADP employment, initial jobless claims, and the unemployment rate on Friday. Because the VIX remains above 20, I reduced cash from 16% down to 12.5%, selectively deploying into high-conviction names and defensive energy exposure.

Client Spotlight

Last week we interviewed our client Quan, and in his first 30 days inside the program he achieved a 6% ROI on his portfolio despite elevated volatility. That kind of disciplined execution in your first month is powerful.

On top of that, Leslie posted a 16% gain for February, and several members closed out Palantir LEAPS alongside me this week. The consistency across the community is what stands out most.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CCJ ( ▲ 6.2% )  
Strategy: Sell the March 27th $113 put
Premium Collected: $325
Duration: 25 days
ROI: 3%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): Approximately 42.6%
Risk: If assigned, you would own shares at an effective cost basis below $113, so you must be comfortable holding the stock and running the Wheel strategy from that level.

Cameco operates in the uranium mining space, and with electricity demand surging from AI infrastructure and data centers, nuclear energy is increasingly part of the long-term solution. Uranium is essential to that equation. The $113 strike sits near the lower Bollinger Band with a 24 delta, offering attractive premium while positioning for a strong long-term entry if assigned. Fundamentally solid, positive earnings, and aligned with a multi-year energy theme.
