KraneShares CSI China Internet (KWEB, $27.00, up $0.82)
Option: KWEB August 30 callsExpiration Date: August 21st, 2026Entry Option Price: $0.35 (7/15/2026)Current Option Price: $0.35Exit Target: $0.70Return: 0%Stop Target: None
Action: Wednesday’s peak hit $27.34 with fresh and lower resistance at $27.25-$27.50 getting cleared and holding. Support is at $26.75-$26.50 and the 50-day moving average.
We often talk about needing only a 3%-4% move in a stock, up or down, to get a 100% return with the right option. These calls closed Tuesday at 19 cents and traded to an intraday high of 39 cents on Wednesday. We are still looking for another possible upside of 10% in the stock over the near-term and all of the current premium in the call options is time.
The chart shows you the math and price points where shares need to be technically, by August 21st, for breakeven and triple-digit wins. We like to be out of New Alerts within three weeks so we use chart work to predict breakouts or breakdowns. The quicker a stock meets our price target, the better chance we have of making a triple-digit return with the options as time premium is still built into the position.
As options move closer to expiration, time premium starts to erode at a faster pace. This is why we still do the math and watch the chart to see if the Alert has a chance of making a profit. If these parameters change, we typically exit early to save any remaining premium.
