Heading to 100+%: Stocks Perfectly Suited for 0DTE Options on Friday

The stock market continues to push toward new records after surpassing February’s peak, with the Nasdaq 100 on track for a solid 4% weekly gain—driven by the Israel-Iran cease-fire, hopes for a trade agreement, and an approaching Fed rate cut. Friday remains a key session, as a large batch of options expire; many bulls may scale back after strong gains, opting to wait for the next trigger. This creates attractive opportunities for agile traders, especially with 0DTE options offering the potential for 100%+ returns. Below are five names to watch closely this Friday.

Netflix (NFLX)

The streaming giant closed at another all-time high on Thursday, capping a stunning 6 % weekly jump. Yet it is the first time the share price has ever topped $1 300, a milestone that often ushers in volatility as investors digest the move. Both daily and weekly RSI readings sit north of 80, and the MA(3)-to-MA(7,10) gap has widened noticeably, pointing to a potential pullback. “Squid Game” Season 3 lands on Friday, injecting uncertainty, and the classic “sell-the-news” pattern could emerge if the open gaps higher. In that scenario, an at-the-money 0-DTE put looks appealing.

Broadcom (AVGO)

The ASIC specialist also closed at a fresh record on Thursday, far outpacing Nvidia, AMD, and other semiconductor heavyweights. Still, it is hard to believe the surge will persist without a tangible catalyst; the latest pop looks driven mainly by broader risk-on sentiment. Micron’s slide the same day—profit-taking after a pre-earnings run—shows how quickly traders can head for the exits. With no headline support and the MA(3) now well above the MA(7,10), a short-term pullback appears likely. Fundamentally, AVGO serves as an alternative supplier to Nvidia, so if NVDA starts to fade, Broadcom’s spectacular rise could unwind, making an at-the-money 0-DTE put an attractive setup.

Nike (NKE)

Nike surged nearly 10 % in pre-market trade after revenue and tariff impact beat expectations. Yet the company still depends on factories outside the United States, meaning levies will remain a drag. Investors also shouldn’t assume shifting production away from China solves everything; President Trump’s agenda is to “Make America Great Again,” not just steer firms away from one country, as Apple has attempted. This jump may reflect wishful thinking that Nike is already past the crisis. We plan to short the shares at the open but will lock in gains quickly—heavy prerelease short interest could spark a squeeze without warning.

JPMorgan (JPM)

The banking sector rallied sharply this week as the Fed signaled it may soon ease the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio—the metric that determines how much capital banks must hold relative to their assets. This deregulation chatter sent JPM up 5 % for the week, with its RSI hitting 90, a level last seen in January 2023. Notably, that spike also occurred on a Thursday, followed by a Friday where the stock opened up 0.4 % but quickly reversed to close down 0.5 %. That kind of setup makes an at-the-money 0-DTE put highly compelling. Still, with intraday trades, discipline is everything—don’t get greedy. A quick rebound can wipe out time value in minutes.

Coinbase (COIN)

The crypto exchange has soared on renewed enthusiasm for stablecoins and digital assets, gaining 22 % this week, but Friday’s session could bring a breather: RSI has reached 91.5. Because elevated implied volatility makes puts expensive and demands a dramatic swing to profit, a 1 × or 2 × short position may be the cleaner play to capture a brief pullback. We remain long-term bullish on COIN but acknowledge it is overheated for now.

Remember, 0-DTE options deliver tactical, high-risk, high-reward opportunities. With expiration looming and volatility already elevated, intraday swings can be violent. Misjudging direction, choosing the wrong strike, or hesitating on exits can erase the entire premium in minutes. Enter each trade prepared to secure profits quickly and cap downside rigorously—the full premium is always at risk.
