Markets are shifting fast, and 2025 looks packed with opportunities if you know where to look. After nearly two decades in the options game, here are my five personal predictions (not recommendations) and actionable strategies for the year ahead I've decided to share. 1. Volatility Is Here to Stay With Trump back in the White House, political shifts in 2025 are likely to bring heightened market uncertainty. Combine that with ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic fragility, and you have the recipe for sustained volatility. For premium sellers, this could be a goldmine, but only if managed well. MY STRATEGY: Sell wide short strangles on SPY when the VIX is spiking. Keep strikes far apart to manage risk, and scale in. Stay sharp on adjustments. 2. Bonds Are Back After a brutal bear market, bonds could finally shine. The Fed's pivot to rate cuts and easing inflation set the stage for a rebound, with TLT showing juicy premiums for options traders. MY STRATEGY: Use put ratio spreads or naked puts on TLT to capture rich premiums. Wait for days when the bond market panics (Powell?) to get the best entries. 3. Crypto Options Are Growing Up With Bitcoin ETFs boosting liquidity, crypto options like IBIT are becoming more trader-friendly. Elevated volatility in crypto is a goldmine for advanced strategies. MY STRATEGY: Try call ratio spreads or Jade Lizards on IBIT to profit from high IV without big directional risks. Stick to the most liquid products and be patient with your entries. 4. Silver Over Gold in 2025 Gold had its run in 2024, but 2025 could belong to silver. The gold/silver ratio is screaming opportunities for traders who know how to play it. MY STRATEGY: For small accounts, trade SLV strangles to capitalize on silver volatility. For bigger moves, go for futures pair trades (long silver, short gold). Watch the ratio closely and adjust as needed. 5. REITs Are a Value Play Real estate is battered, but quality REITs are trading at deep discounts. With rate cuts likely, this sector could offer both income and upside.

I'm starting to look at PLTR to see if it will set up to buy some puts. The monthly chart RSI is over 90, FVG down between 45.08 and 65.03. Risk/Reward is not set up to take this now, in my opinion. What would you look for in this counter trend trade?

Do you think SPY will drop below 597? SPY has been holding strong but with recent market uncertainty, a drop below 597 isn't out of the question. Will sellers push price action lower? Or will buyers defend? What's your take on the current price action?
