Along with the broader market, Disney (DIS) opened a little higher, with a new cycle high of $116.83, but then saw a fierce downside snap, settling -2.0% @ $113.24. The excuse for the reversal is highly arguable, but regardless, the daily MACD cycle is set to turn negative this Thursday or Friday.

Summary
*there was a notable bearish option trade in DIS this morning, which might have contributed to the 10am hour snap...
Puts, Nov' 105s 10,000 @ $0.50 = $0.5 million
Puts, Nov' 100s, 10,000 @ $0.25 = $0.25 million
(all entry prices approx).
Roughly.. it seems someone spent the better part of $0.75 million on a rather significant put spread.
The fact the purchase were front month options - with just 12 days left on the detonator clock, is suggestive it was an individual trade, rather than a large institution trying to hedge.

Best guess... DIS to fall (at min). to 108/105 by late Friday... not least if the main market settles the week in the sp'2060/50s.
If sp'2020s, DIS could test the giant $100 psy' level.. before resuming higher into year end.
-
To be absolutely clear... I am VERY bullish DIS.. not least because of its Marvel/Star Wars movie/TV franchises.
yours.. not short via 20,000 DIS put contracts (if only)
