Exchange operator Intercontinental Exchange Inc (NYSE: ICE) has found support at its year-to-date breakeven level, that happens to coincide with its $50 billion market cap. As the stock forms a flag and wedge-like pattern, there's additional support at its 160-day and 320-day moving averages. The former has been reclaimed this month so far, and the latter has marked multiple bottoms in the past.

There's pessimism abound among options traders, though. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), ICE sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 1.71. This ratio ranks 2 percentage points from an annual high, and an unwinding of these bullish bets could add more pressure to the equity.
 
Lastly, ICE sports attractively priced premiums at the moment. It's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 28% ranks in the low 19th percentile of its annual range. Our recommended call option has a leverage ratio of 9.2 and will double in an 10.6% rise in the underlying stock.
