The Trade of the Week: AMD Shows Strength Amid Market Uncertainty
Nov 11, 2025When broader markets hesitate, we look for stocks that ignore the noise. AMD has been doing exactly that — holding higher levels, respecting key moving averages, and attracting steady volume on green days.
Here’s what made AMD stand out:
1. Clear Institutional Footprints
AMD has shown a pattern of controlled pullbacks into support followed by sharp recoveries. This kind of price action typically signals that institutions are absorbing shares, not distributing them.
2. Defined Technical Structure
On the 30-minute timeframe, price action created a tight consolidation zone near recent highs. Each dip into support aligned with the Hull Moving Average, which kept trending upward — a sign of sustained strength.
3. Excellent Setup for Options Structure
With moderate implied volatility and well-defined support, AMD presented several opportunities:
-
Debit call spreads for directional traders
-
Put credit spreads for income-focused setups
-
Cash-secured puts for those looking to own shares at a discount
All options fit cleanly within a rules-based framework.
