Gas prices have cooled a bit and it is just enough to keep people traveling and set up this stock to pop.

For today’s Trade of the Day, we will be looking at Airbnb Inc. symbol (ABNB).

Before analyzing ABNB’s chart, let’s take a closer look at the stock and its services.

Airbnb, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, operates a platform that enables hosts to offer stays and experiences to guests worldwide. Airbnb, Inc. was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The chart of ABNB below is a weekly chart with a CCI indicator at the bottom.  The description coming up next explains how to use the CCI.

Channel Commodity Index

Stockcharts.com provides a great definition of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), which is a versatile indicator that can be used to identify a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. Originally, it was developed to identify cyclical turns in commodities, but the indicator can be successfully applied to indices, ETFs, stocks and other securities. In general, CCI measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period.

CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average but is relatively low when prices are far below their average. In this manner, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels or breaks from one level to another.

A move down to the CCI -100 or the zero line can issue a Put entry signal as it moves from being bullish to bearish. A move toward -100 is a continuation of that bearishness.  Up through the 100 line creates a green fin of bullishness until it drops back down through the -100 line.

A break below the zero line means it has gone from bullish to bearish and a drop below -100 suggests even more bearishness.

On the CCI indicator below the ABNB chart, notice how the line is has crossed up through the -100-line going into bullish territory.  This signals bullish moves with the thought that price may move up.

ABNB’s Potential Trade

Please note and remember that I am typing this on Monday, two days before you receive it. The information I am sharing could change over those two days and is intended to share the opportunities that options offer us.

ABNB has been up and down for weeks. We want the CCI to go up to create a fin shape. We also want the price to go to at least $100 before entering a trade. The first target would be $115.

Check Out How an Option Trade Could Pay Out Big Time

To buy stock shares of ABNB today, price would be approximately $98.96. If price rose to $115 you would make about $16 per share.

This said, option trading offers the potential of a smaller initial investment and higher percentage gain even when price is expected to rise or fall. Let’s take a look.

If you bought one Call option contract covering 100 shares of ABNB’s stock with an August 19th expiration date for the 115 strike, premium would be approximately $2.64 today, or a total of $264 per contract.  If the stock price rose the expected $5.00, the premium might increase approximately $2.50 to $5.14 per share on your 100-share contract. This is a 95% gain over a couple weeks.

Remember you can close an option trade anywhere along the line before expiration to take gains or stop a loss.

Options can offer a win, win, win trade opportunity. They often offer a smaller overall investment, covering more shares of stock, and potentially offer greater profits.

I love to trade, and I love to teach.  It is my thing.

I wish you the very best,
