A High-Cost-Effectiveness Strategy for Protecting Against a Market Top
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Next week’s target: 140.On Thursday, May 15th, $NVDA 20250516 132.0 PUT$ saw 58,000 contracts opened, with most of the activity leaning toward buying. The total transaction value was over $1.7 million, indicating that traders are expecting a pullback to 132 by Friday.From the transaction details, the 132 put was bought at NVIDIA’s intraday high.

$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ has faced one blow after another this year. First, a top executive was shot. Then, the company missed earnings expectations. The CEO resigned, and the company withdrew its full-year guidance. This week, it was revealed that the company is under criminal investigation for alleged Medicare fraud.These successive shocks have sent the stock price plummeting from $620 to $250 within a month—a 33% drop this month alone and a year-to-date decline of over 55%.In the short term, the stock may be oversold, but it’s hard to rule out further downside if more news about criminal charges emerges.Did the Options Market Know First?
