There was a seller of 2,000 of the March 2023, 80 put spreads at an average price of $2.11 per contract, Stutland mentioned. The trader expects Amazon’s stock to remain above $80 by March expiration, he stated.

Amazon’s stock is “super discretionary,” and you get a combination of communication services and software as a service, Stutland mentioned.

“If you want to play that to the upside, I like buying a call instead,” he added.
