  • Technical Analysis
  • Options Recommendations
Software name Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:DDOG) is seeing multiple levels of pressure on the charts. A familiar ceiling at the $95 level appears to be keeping a lid on the shares, while an influx of calls at the June 95-strike could also act as resistance in the coming weeks. The 20-week moving average has also been a significant trendline of resistance in the past, and the stock is currently just below it. With these technical layers in place, DDOG appears to be on track to add to its 10.2% year-to-date deficit.

Analysts are leaning bullish on the equity, leaving little room for a round of upgrades and plenty of space for a shift in sentiment that could push the stock lower. Of the 19 analysts in coverage, 11 carry a "buy" or better rating on DDOG, while eight recommend a tepid "hold," with not a "sell" or worse in sight. Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $108.33 is an 22.5% premium to current levels.

 

Lastly, Datadog stock is sporting attractively priced premiums at the moment, too. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 46% stands higher than just 4% of all other readings from the past year. What’s more, its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) sits at a relatively high 81 out of a possible 100, indicating that the stock has managed to exceed these volatility expectations over the last 12 months.

 
Our recommended put contract has a leverage ratio of -6.1, and will double on a 13.9% decline in the underlying security.

Fox Corp (NASDAQ:FOXA) just got an upgrade from Wells Fargo to "overweight" from "equal weight." The analyst also upped its price target to $47 from $42, saying it sees FOXA channeling its focus into sports betting lines, unlike its media peers which are prioritizing direct-to-consumer streaming services. It also noted that within a few years, the company will likely be a sports betting stock that has media network assets.

FOXA is up 2.4% at $37.45 this morning. The security has been plateauing since a mid-March plummet from its all-time high of $44.80, though the 100-day moving average is containing some of this negative price action. Another key trendline to watch will be the security's formerly supportive 80-day moving average, which FOXA breached earlier this month. Today's trading puts the stock closer to toppling this trendline, though it's still acting as pressure on the charts. 

The brokerage bunch was split on FOXA heading into today. Of the nine in coverage, four said "buy" or better, and five said "hold." The 12-month consensus price target of $41.41 is a 13.2% premium to last night's close. 

Option traders, on the other hand, have been overwhelmingly bullish. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), FOXA sports a 10-day call/put volume ratio of 27.49, which stands higher than all other readings from the past 12 months, implying long calls haven't been more popular this past year.

There's still plenty of room to get in of FOXA's next move with options though. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 28% stands in the lowest percentile of its annual range. This means option traders are pricing in extremely low volatility expectations for the security right now.
