I Just Bought $16K in LEAPS — Is the Market About to Rally?
Hey Options Trader,
This week was another win for the bulls. Buying volume has surpassed selling volume, pushing the market higher on the weekly timeframe. A new tariff deal with Britain came through, and this weekend could mark a historic negotiation with China in Geneva. While the market continues to climb, we’re still far from a full recovery — and that means plenty of opportunities are still on the table.
Here’s what we are covering:
$QQQ ( ▼ 0.07% ) and $VIX ( ▼ 2.58% ) - Weekly Chart & Key Levels

QQQ and VIX - Key Levels
QQQ continued to build a solid base this week, consolidating between $483 and $493. If forward-looking news emerges from negotiations between China and President Trump, I believe QQQ could break past $500 and make a move toward $510.
However, if the news remains stagnant and tariffs stay at the 145% level for China, we may see a pullback to around $472 — a key area of opportunity to load up on cash-secured puts and LEAPS call options on your favorite stocks.
While I’m still maintaining a cautious stance (15% in cash), the VIX is starting to prove me wrong. It continues to trend lower, hitting $22 today. If the VIX closes below $20 next week, I believe we could be on track to retest all-time highs.
3 Things to Watch This Week:
Positive Tariff News — Not just from China, but from other key trading partners as well.
Core CPI Data — If inflation comes in lower than expected, it could fuel bullish momentum and give the Fed more room to ease policy.
CME FedWatch Tool — If inflation data prices in a 90% chance of a rate cut in June or July, a confirmed shift could ignite a strong move across tech and growth names.


VIX approaching zone of greed. This is when markets start going mega bullish.

Another green close on weekly timeframe $QQQ ( ▼ 0.07% )
