Liz and Jenny discussed significant market movements, noting gold's crossing of the $4,000 level—a key threshold highlighted previously by Tim Knight. Both IBIT and ETH are experiencing strong gains, prompting the hosts to adjust their crypto positions by taking some profits while maintaining exposure through October.

The pair established three earnings diagonal trades in SoFi, PayPal, and UPS ahead of a major earnings week, employing a strategy of selling near-term options at the expected move strike while buying at-the-money options in the following week. They discussed why these inexpensive diagonals (under $300 each) offer attractive risk-reward profiles.

Additionally, they executed a bearish put Zebra in Nike (NKE) and a Jade Lizard in Intel (INTC), while explaining the mechanics of buffer trades as synthetic covered calls with downside protection.
