AT&T looks to be fighting trending resistance, and is further being pressured out of its horizontal channel, falling out of the 28.92/30.04 price range. A light friday candle, arguably a doji, will not hold up this slight move in price northward. Good volume, however, and RSI Indicator suggesting a possible reversal off the 28.92 support. The question - Will it hold?
The current trend says no - 8 EMA is now acting as resistance as well, and the last several weeks are pushing it south. Put/call volume ratio is 1.43, with put volume exceeding call volume. What's hard to tell, imo, is this - is this hedging volume, straddle/strangle strategies?
I do believe, as in the recent past, this opens/pushes bull initially then falls bear. My top 2 strategies;
$T (29.00) 28 P 09/18 0.08
Strategy #1 - Limit/market buy 0.08
OR
$T (29.00) 28.50 P 09/18 0.15
Strategy #2 - LIMIT Buy @ 0.08, thinking
this will open and run north to 29.26,
dropping premium to my limit buy 0.08
Strategy #2 fulfills 3 things - a great discount toward a put buy, a better put strike position, being 0.50 closer to underlying price and better delta!!
*Let's see what happens*
