Morning Scan: 12 New Setups in Cautious Territory
At 9:45 AM ET, Stoptions published 12 new setups across a CAUTIOUS BULL market regime with Fear & Greed at 37. The day's highest-conviction plays were PSN, BDX, and MANH, each scoring 97/100 with 40% win probability and stock-level entries. MA and V led the options side: MA 660C (score 86/100, 80% win prob, $10.66 entry) and V 425C (score 84/100, 61% win prob, $6.35 entry) both carried elevated confidence. The algo also published six additional options contracts—PSN 50C, BDX 195C, MA 630C, V 410C, and ICE 160C—all scoring 0/100, suggesting these were lower-conviction setups with defined risk/reward targets. EHC and ICE rounded out the roster as stock plays, each scoring 110/100 but carrying modest 28% win probabilities. Check the Morning Brief for full context on regime and positioning.
