How to Capitalize on This Week’s Volatility (3 Smart Trades Inside)

Last week, the market sent a clear message: uncertainty is back—and it’s paying out in premium.

The S&P 500 dropped 2.6%, driven by tariff threats, rising yields, and a U.S. credit downgrade. But beneath the chaos lies real opportunity… if you know where to look.

This is where smart traders step in—not with guesses, but with defined-risk strategies that let volatility work for you.

Here are 3 trade setups I’m watching this week:

🔹 Tesla (TSLA) – Neutral Setup
TSLA is stuck in a high-volatility chop after a big rally.
Strategy: Sell a wide OTM short strangle or use an iron condor if you need defined risk.
Goal: Capture premium as it trades sideways.

🔹 Palantir (PLTR) – Bullish Momentum Play
Riding strong federal contracts and AI optimism.
Strategy: Bull put spread ($120/$115), 10–15 DTE
Target: 25–30% return on risk
Why it works: Technical trend supports higher prices and quick theta decay.

🔹 SPY – Range-Bound Setup
SPY is holding key support but facing macro headlines all week.
Strategy: Iron condor ($570/$565 put spread and $585/$590 call spread)
Profit if SPY stays between $570–$585.

This week is packed with catalysts: housing data, FOMC minutes, GDP updates, and the Fed’s inflation metric (PCE).

That means movement. That means premium.

Stay sharp. Trade your edge. Let the market’s volatility become your income stream.
