Resistance at $11.50 was topped and held on the pop to $11.54 yesterday. We were looking for closes above this level and a continued run towards $12. If $11.50 isn’t cleared and held into today’s close, exit the alert.
The December options expire early and why we suggested the March options This was an aggressive Alert and we don’t want to hold longer-term positions into the New Year. In any event, a drop below $11.25-$11 could lead to a further fade to $10.50 and why we have the Stop in.
Lumen Technologies (LUMN, $8.69, up $0.19)
Option: LUMN January 11 calls
Expiration Date: January 16th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.50 (12/3/2025)
Current Option Price: $0.35

Return: -30%
Stop Target: None
Action: Shares traded to a high of $9.14 with lower resistance at $9-$9.25 getting cleared but holding. A pop above the latter and the 50-day moving average would be a renewed bullish signal. Support is at $8.50-$8.25
Our near-term target is at $11.50-$12. There is breakout potential toward $16 based on the Fibonacci setup. The current bullish setup would be voided if $7.50 fails to gold with the Fibonacci Stop at $5.13.

Rani Therapeutics had no revenue until this year and in its latest earnings update it reported a better-than-expected loss but no revenue. The company is developing a proprietary oral delivery technology intended to enable drugs that are injected, to instead be taken orally. They signed a $1 billion deal with Chugai Pharmaceutical in October. This could mean NO MORE SHOTS for many drugs. Any update or approval could send shares zooming.
