Bought 20 x 100 Citigroup (NYSE: C) June10 $4 Put @ $0.17

May 28, 2010 · Posted in Trades, US Options · Comment 

Citi is hitting short term resistance at around $4.

it is trying to breakout $4 again today, its pretty much flat after opening high at $3.95 and staying at around $4 ever since.

we are betting on a retreat as it is hitting the daily Pivot resistance (short term technical analysis), and also hitting 200 DMA and 20 EMA

looks like the pivot pt 1145.75 for the E-Mini S&P 500 Index Future is a resistance and it is reversing down since touching it earlier today.

re shorted RIMM at 66.80 .. RIMM is also reversing after breaking the pivot 67.08 briefly.
