Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) is looking to snap a five-day losing streak, down 0.6% at $13.00 at last glance. The stock has been seeing some pressure just above the $13 level, though it's worth noting that F broke back above its 20-day moving average during yesterday's 4.2% pop.

These options traders are in luck, as now looks like an opportune time to weigh in with options. The stock is seeing attractively priced premiums at the moment, per F's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 35%, which sits in the low 3rd percentile of its annual range.
