Amazon may trade range-bound for weeks as options strategy targets it

Reported · Written up by our desk · Options

CNBC World highlighted an options setup that centers on the idea that Amazon shares could remain range-bound for the next seven weeks.

The strategy, described by Trader Mike Khouw, uses a “jade lizard” structure, which is designed for investors looking for relatively stable stock movement over that time horizon.

The report frames the trade as a bet that Amazon will not break out of its recent trading range within the expected window.
