I'd appreciate if you would share what put options you would
consider if we get the strong close today. I've seen some using

given the possibility of a 2nd or even 3rd entry and ultimately
looking for downside in the markets.

yes, the strike must coincide

yes, the strike must coincide with the minimal target expected. I would use spreads for leverage and control of decay for OTM puts.
