Parker-Hannifin (PH) with 500 October $620 calls bought on Monday at $9.00 as Sep. 600 adjust and stick with the strong uptrend in place since earlier this year.

PH has continued to see bulls adjust calls higher all summer similar to other industrial peers seeing tailwinds and a breakout above 600 could see the next leg up to 620 which is near the 1.618% fibonacci extension target off the weekly chart breakout this year.
