"When the trading environment gets frustrating, I have to remind myself that I can only control what I can control." Nate Bear, Lead Technical Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance This week is OPEX week. If you're unfamiliar with OPEX, it stands for "Options Expiration." It's when a large volume of options and futures contracts expire on financial markets, usually on the third Friday of every month. In my experience, OPEX week can be a frustrating environment for traders. In fact, the last 4 consecutive February OPEX weeks have been bearish for the markets, and 2026 is no different. The S&P and the Dow were both roughly 0.3% yesterday, with the Nasdaq off about 0.4%. When a week like OPEX flips indexes bearish, I always tell myself… "I can't control the indexes" "I can't make them do what I want." However, I can be patient and only trade chart setups I love, and there's one group I'm watching that's currently flying high despite OPEX frustration. That ticker is Deere & Company (DE). Here's why I like DE right now. DE crushed earnings yesterday. As you'll see above, it's spiking with a 13% pop. With its upward momentum against a choppy market, DE is a prime candidate for what I call a "lotto" trade. Every Friday, I look for lotto trades that capture short-term momentum of a company like DE. These trades have the potential to lead to fast gains. SPONSORED Get Bryan Bottarelli's Top Stocks...
