Inflation Catalysts Ahead and Clients $21,000 Second Month Win

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week’s market is still showing a bullish tone, but I’m approaching it with a slightly more cautious eye after several stocks have already made strong moves. With SPY trading near 739 and market makers pricing in a wide expected range, this could be an important week for direction. Between core CPI, core PPI, and VIX still sitting slightly elevated, there may be opportunity ahead, but discipline and patience remain key.

Here’s what we are covering:

  1. My slightly cautious but still bullish market outlook

  2. Client $21k Win

  3. Free Trade of the Week

  4. Bonus Resource on Robinhood, IREN, and AI infrastructure stocks

Market Snapshot

My market outlook for this week is still bullish, but slightly cautious as several stocks have already had strong runs, including names like WDC and STX.

$SPY ( ▼ 0.4% ) is currently trading around 739, and market makers are pricing in a potential move as high as 750 or as low as 717, which gives us a fairly wide expected range heading into a catalyst-heavy week. Core CPI comes out tomorrow, followed by core PPI on Thursday, and those reports could create some short-term volatility depending on how the numbers come in.

The $VIX ( ▼ 1.52% ) is still slightly elevated around 18, which tells me there is still some fear in the market and we have not reached extreme greed just yet. Because of that, I still think the market has room to push higher, but I want to stay disciplined and avoid chasing stocks that have already moved too far too fast.

SPY heading towards $750

VIX remains slightly elevated. $15 is target for greed.

Client Spotlight

This week’s Client Spotlight is Stacey. In her second month inside Options Trading University, she made $21,000 and continues to work toward her 3 to 5 percent monthly return goal with consistency and discipline.

We also saw several great community wins today, including one client closing out a $5,000 trade, another turning previously underwater LEAPS into a $4,000 profit, and Eric already sitting at $30,000 in profit for the month so far. It is amazing to see clients staying patient, managing positions properly, and continuing to stack progress.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CCJ ( ▼ 3.07% )  
Strategy: Sell the June 12th $111 cash-secured put
Premium Collected: $445
Duration: 32 days
ROI: 4.15%
Annualized Return compounded monthly: 58.09%
Risk: The main risk is assignment if CCJ trades below the 111 strike by expiration. If assigned, the position would require owning shares of Cameco at an effective cost basis below the current market price after factoring in the premium collected.

Cameco Corporation is currently trading near the mid-Bollinger Band line, while the 111 strike sits right below the lower Bollinger Band, which could make it an attractive level if one were to get assigned. I also like the broader long-term theme behind the company, as energy demand continues to be a major issue that needs to be solved, especially with AI data centers requiring massive amounts of electricity. Uranium and nuclear power are positioned as a major part of that solution, and Cameco remains one of the leading companies at the forefront of uranium production for nuclear reactors.

Bonus Video

This week’s Bonus Resource is my most recent video where I break down a recent change in my Robinhood position, IREN’s share dilution, and three AI infrastructure stocks I believe still have room to run. If you are following the AI infrastructure theme, this is an important video to watch because it connects the bigger market trend with real portfolio decisions.

The best traders stay patient when the market runs and prepared when opportunity pulls back.
