Technicals

The main technical appeal to MTCH is its outperformance relative to the overal markets.  Note the stock is about 16% higher to the low posted in late November while SPY dropped abruptly to fresh yearly lows in the past week.  As well, the stock boasts a 24% gain for the year, despite the decline from September highs.  Major support is found at $33.50 and this level held MTCH higher last month.  Support is also seen near $39, reflecting the high ahead of the earnings inspired gap up in August. From a technical standpoint, there is a large gap that should be covered by a $48 price at some point (as the earlier upside gap was eventually covered).

If you agree there's further upside ahead for MTCH, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next four weeks, or at least a little bit.

Buy To Open MTCH 18JAN19 36 Puts (MTCH190118P36)

Sell To Open MTCH 18JAN19 39 Puts (MTCH190118P39) for a credit of $1.10 (selling a vertical)

This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when MTCH was trading near $39.  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 $107.50 and your broker would charge a $300 maintenance fee, making your investment $192.50 ($300 – $107.50).  If MTCH closes at any price above $39 on January 18, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 56% (818% annualized).
