They are using something called options, which let them choose to buy or sell shares of the company at a certain price in the future. This can make them more money if they guess right, but also lose more money if they guess wrong. Some experts think JD.com is worth more and some think it's worth less, so these big people are trying to decide what to do with their money. Read from source...

- The article does not provide any clear definition or explanation of what are market whales and how they differ from other investors in terms of strategies, goals, and impact on the market. This is a serious omission that prevents readers from understanding the main topic and context of the article.

To provide comprehensive investment recommendations, I would first need to analyze the current market conditions, the company's financial health, and the expectations of analysts and options traders. Based on this analysis, I can suggest some possible strategies for buying or selling JD.com options. However, please note that these are not guarantees of success and involve significant risks. You should always do your own research and consult with a professional financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

One potential strategy is to buy call options on JD.com with a strike price close to the current market price, such as $24 or $25. This would give you the right to purchase shares of JD.com at a fixed price until the expiration date of the option, which is usually in two to four months. If the stock price rises above the strike price, you can exercise your options and sell them for a profit. The potential reward for this strategy is unlimited, as the stock price could continue to rise indefinitely. However, the risk is also high, as you could lose all of your investment if the stock price falls below the strike price or expires worthless.

Another possible strategy is to sell put options on JD.com with a strike price above the current market price, such as $26 or $27. This would obligate you to purchase shares of JD.com at the specified price until the expiration date, but only if the buyer of the option decides not to exercise it. In other words, you are betting that the stock price will not fall below the strike price before the expiration date. If this happens, you can keep the premium you received from selling the options as your profit. The potential reward for this strategy is limited, but so is the risk. You can only lose the difference between the strike price and the current market price of the stock, which is usually less than 10% in this case. However, there is also a chance that you will have to buy the shares at a higher price than the market value if the stock drops sharply before the expiration date. This would result in a loss of both the premium and the additional cost of buying the stock.
