Technicals
From a technical perspective, ALGN has been mostly consolidating within a range over the last few months. Ahead of the recent earning’s call, the stock briefly dipped below range support at $243 but it managed to regain it following the earnings report. Current prices offer an opportunity to buy the stock near the lower bound of the consolidation. There is some potential for an upside break, in line with the broader trend. The rationale being that a quite few of the stocks listed in the IBD Top 50 list have shown strength in the past week and some have even broken to fresh highs. This signals some potential that the bullish trend may have resumed in the markets.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for ALGN, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, or at least not decline very much.
Buy To Open ALGN 08JUN18 260 Puts (ALGN180608P260)
Sell To Open ALGN 08JUN18 262.5 Puts (ALGN180608P262.5) for a credit of $1.13 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when ALGN was trading near $259. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers). Each contract would then yield $110.50 and your broker would charge a $250.00 maintenance fee, making your investment $139.50 ($250 – $110.50). If ALGN closes at any price above $262.50 on June 8, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 79% (904% annualized).
