1. MSI ($450.01) – Securing the Trend 

• We’re betting on: If military and security spending remains strong and drives continued demand for MSI’s products, the stock will hold its long-term bullish trend and stay above our $450 strike through mid-May.

• The Why: Highlighted on our Equity Research Buy List, Motorola Solutions continues to see robust demand as military and security forces increasingly require their mission-critical communications and video security products.
• The Technicals: Experiencing a short-term pullback within a longer-term Bullish Trend (6M) with neutral Relative Strength (6/10), the stock triggered a trend-following buy signal and offers a favorable setup as it bounces off its $443 support level.
• Management:
  • ⚠️ Warning: Earnings is scheduled for Apr 30, which may require active management.
  • Stop Loss: Buy back the spread at $15.80 (100% of credit received).

2. LULU ($151.39) – Fading the Premium Apparel View Trade in OptionsPlay

• We’re betting on: If consumer discretionary spending remains weak and LULU fails to reclaim its broken support, the stock will accelerate its bearish descent toward $130, allowing this call spread to expire worthless.
• The Trade: Sell to Open the LULU May 8, 2026 155/165 Call Vertical @ $3.58 Credit.
  • 🔴 SELL TO OPEN May 08, 2026 155 Call @ $8.23

• The Why: As discretionary consumer spending continues to face pressure in a challenging macroeconomic environment, premium athletic apparel brands like Lululemon are increasingly vulnerable to margin compression and slowing growth.
• The Technicals: Mired in a confirmed Bearish Trend (1M & 6M) with weak Relative Strength (3/10), the stock just suffered a major technical breakdown below its key $160 support level, opening the door for further downside targeting $130.
• Management:
  • Stop Loss: Buy back the spread at $7.16 (100% of credit received).
  • Take Profit: Buy back the spread at $1.79 (50% of max gain).
