INTC Scalp

This was a more standard scalp, not like my previous +1,000% trade. INTC Calls +40.6% & Puts +61.2%

I entered INTC Feb 6 $49.5 calls at $1.06 after price cleared my key level at $49.15. I held until a volume anomaly — largest volume bar of the day paired with a hammer candle — plus tape reading suggested a reversal. I scaled out into strength, selling at $1.37 and $1.61, for an overall +40.6% gain on the call trade.

After the reversal confirmed, I flipped short and entered INTC Feb 6 $48.5 puts at $0.67. Tape reading plus a 9 EMA cross added signaled entry. I exited at $1.08 once buyers showed up on the tape, locking in a +61.2% gain. Could’ve held this longer, working on that.
