Tesla, Amazon, Apple: These Options Data Reflections May Just Spoil Your Monday Morning Mood

Despite witnessing volatility, major Wall Street indices closed in the green last week. Market participants will now be watching out for the release of Personal Consumption Expenditures price index this week, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of underlying price pressures. Investors and traders will also be eyeing remarks by multiple Fed officials.

What Happened: As market participants stare at a busy week, here's a look at crucial trading levels for some of the favorite stocks:

1. Tesla Inc. TSLA: Shares of Tesla closed 0.94% lower on Friday at $190.41. Options expiring on Friday indicate significant resistance at the $200 level as is reflected by accumulation of open interest in out-of-the-money Call options.
