QQQ Holding 600 and Richard Adds Another $28K

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market continues to send mixed but constructive signals as we head into another catalyst driven week. Inflation data came in supportive, rate cut odds are shifting forward, and volatility remains elevated enough to create opportunity. While February may stay choppy, there are clear inflection points forming that we can trade around with discipline. This week is about patience, positioning, and letting the data guide us.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My market outlook for the week ahead

2. Client Spotlight featuring Richard

3. Free Trade of the Week on a NEW stock

4. New YouTube market update

Market Snapshot

My outlook going into next week is neutral to bullish. We came off solid inflation data on Friday, and if the trend continues, especially with Core PCE coming out next Friday, the market has room to push forward. Rate cut odds for June have increased, and April odds ticked up as well. If those April probabilities continue rising, that is very bullish short term for equities.

$QQQ ( ▲ 0.89% ) held the 600 level, which was a key inflection point. If we break down next week, 580 is my downside target, which aligns with the 200 day moving average and would likely present a strong buying opportunity.

On the upside, I do not expect massive upside in February. I see 630 as the upper range unless catalysts surprise to the upside. The $VIX ( ▼ 5.64% ) is in the 20s, meaning fear is present. Could we see a final push toward 25? Absolutely. That would likely clear the air and create even better premium opportunities. I am currently sitting at about 13 percent cash and staying disciplined with VIX cash allocation levels.

Client Spotlight

This week’s spotlight is Richard. Within his first three months inside Options Trading University, Richard profited $371,000. In February alone, he has already closed out roughly $28,000 in gains while following the VIX cash allocation levels on the heavier side. He mentioned how having that extra cash cushion has helped him stay calm through this tech pullback and prepared to deploy when opportunity presents itself.

Even in this choppy market, the wins continue across the community. Sridhar posted a $710 gain, Fabian locked in $4,700, and another member closed out $17,000 for the week. Discipline compounds, especially during volatility.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $GLW ( ▲ 7.32% )  
Strategy: Sell the March 20th $115 strike put
Premium Collected: $292 per contract
Duration: Approximately 30 days
ROI: 2.6 percent
Annualized Return compounded monthly: Approximately 36 percent
Risk: Assignment below 115, which sits near the mid Bollinger Band and offers a strong technical support area

GLW, or Corning Incorporated, has shown impressive relative strength during the recent tech selloff. While many names pulled back aggressively, GLW held firm and even advanced. As a specialty glass and fiber optics leader with growing AI infrastructure exposure and partnerships including Meta, the stock continues to attract capital. Selling the 115 strike near the mid Bollinger Band gives us a cushion, and if assigned, it would be at a level that I would be comfortable owning long term.
