JWN Bearish inclined naked calls 31 July expiry

Updated
Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought
  • JWN (Nordstrom) is a luxury departmental store chain. With the concerns of the recession and the cooling signs of the job market, layoffs in tech and the overall retail leadership cautiousness during the earnings. I think this is the right direction especially since it is following the larger market direction
  • US retail sales also post the first drop in 5 months as auto purchases plunge and inflation bites

    Risk Mitigation
  • I have two S&R lines at 26 and 29.46 if it breaches 29.46 it is an immediate close

    Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side
  • I would not take a bull position on this. Especially since retail is one of the industries that will be hit first by inflation

    Look For New Information
  • The slight decline in May, restrained by a plunge in vehicle purchases and other big-ticket items, suggesting moderating demand for goods amid decades-high inflation.

    I Feel
  • I believe I am aligned with the larger market sentiment. While there might be a technical recovery. I think the drops are deeper than the climbs. Also the media keeps hammering into readers the “recession” word
