Home Depot (HD) Offering Possible 6.16% Return Over the Next 33 Calendar Days

Home Depot's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Home Depot is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $190.00 short call and a strike $200.00 long call offers a potential 6.16% return on risk over the next 33 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $190.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.58 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $9.42 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $200.00 long call strike price.

The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for Home Depot is bearish.

Finally, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) continued its comeback after a successful 50-day moving average test.Let's take a closer look: Boeing (BA)The impact of Sunday's tragic plane crash continues to ripple across the globe.

Buyers won the contest, if only slightly, with a 0.7% gain on the session. However, the looming dividend payout lit a fire in call trading.The price trend for HD stock has improved this year, especially compared to the beatdown suffered in the fourth quarter. Falling interest rates and the housing sector returning to health were two likely culprits, not to mention the improving backdrop of the broader stock market.Though last month's earnings release caused the stock to stumble, this week's successful test of the 50-day moving average should embolden bulls.
