PLTR Trade: 5% Cash Flow or 20% Upside? (+ Jason’s $90K Win)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market just bounced hard after a quick 4% correction, and I believe this is one of the best buy-the-dip setups we’ve seen in months. Jerome Powell speaks Friday at Jackson Hole, and while the outcome could spark some short-term volatility, I’m leaning heavily bullish. Here’s what I’m watching right now.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My updated QQQ levels and VIX read heading into Powell’s speech

2. How Jason went from beginner to consistent $60K–$90K months

3. Two free trade setups on Palantir: one safe, one with big upside

4. A must-watch video breaking down all my latest moves

Market Snapshot

My outlook right now is extremely bullish. $QQQ ( ▲ 1.54% ) just pulled back about 4% to 559 before bouncing, and I believe this sets up the next leg higher. While Powell could shock the market Friday by saying no rate cuts in 2025, that’s a very low probability outcome in my view. A more likely scenario is that Powell delivers a neutral statement about needing more data, which the market is already pricing in. That should allow QQQ to push toward new all-time highs within the next two to three weeks.

If Powell confirms a September rate cut, and maybe even hints at December, then we could gap straight up to the 590–595 area on QQQ. That’s the super bullish scenario, maybe a 10% probability, but one worth noting. On the flip side, if Powell surprises dovish traders, a dip toward 545 would be possible.

What gives me confidence here is the $VIX ( ▼ 14.34% ) . Even with high-tech names like Palantir down 20%, the VIX only touched 17 before closing near 15.68. In a true risk-off environment, we would’ve seen the VIX spike into the 19–21 range. Instead, this looks like rotation out of tech into defensive names like $LMT ( ▼ 0.22% ) Lockheed Martin, $BRK.B ( ▲ 0.08% ) Berkshire Hathaway, and $MCD ( ▲ 0.27% ) McDonald’s. To me, that’s a buy-the-dip signal.

That’s why I’m only holding about 5% cash. Well below my usual 20–25% range and I put on several new positions today in Palantir, SoFi, NVIDIA, and Robinhood.

Client Spotlight

Jason is one of my favorite stories in OTU. He joined with zero options trading experience and now consistently posts $60K–$90K months. In July, he booked a $90,000 profit and is pushing toward his first six-figure month. If you haven’t watched his testimonial yet, it’s worth your time. It’s proof that consistency and discipline can change everything.
