Here's the $1 Billion Battle! Retail Traders vs. Wall Street Market Makers - Who Will Have the Last

What a drama! Just when we thought we could relax during the Spring Festival, the options market keeps delivering surprises. Since most people in our community are involved in the NVIDIA trade, it's crucial to understand the new wealthy players entering the market and market makers' responses.Before diving into today's story, here's some background:The NVIDIA procurement guy is back, choosing to buy $300 million in straddle optionsOn Monday, January 27th, NVIDIA plunged 16.97% to close at 118.42 due to the impact of Deepseek's algorithm optimization.

The NVIDIA procurement guy is back, choosing to buy $300 million in straddle options

After the January FOMC meeting ended, there was no rate hike as expected. Powell maintained his previous stance on controlling inflation, but during the Q&A session, he mentioned he hadn't communicated with Trump, leaving uncertainty about whether his attitude might change after such communication. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ According to Wednesday's options opening details, this week's bullish top positions exceeded bearish ones, maintaining the original judgment above 120, with the upper limit raised to 130.Long-term outlook remains bearish, with strike prices down to 100, with positions extending to June. This is understandable - January's Deepseek incident suggests companies will continue to enhance computing power this year, leading to ongoing questio

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ On Monday, NVIDIA's options trading volume ranked first in US stocks, reaching 10.18 million, triple the average volume!The data is very rich but relatively concentrated. Based on Monday's options opening details, the estimated near-term fluctuation range is 110-130. Whether it tends upward or downward depends on tech companies' earnings calls in the coming days and whether management's outlook on AI capital support has changed. The expectation gap could reach 100.Institutional sell call rollovers occurred in four ranges: 129-134, 127-132, 131-136, and 130-135.

Pure panic selling and deleveraging market conditions - time to buy the dip. We might see several such opportunities this year. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ It's now confirmed that this major drop was mainly triggered by DeepSeek.

$300 Million NVIDIA Call Options Purchase, With a Surprising Strike Price!

$NVDA$After TSM's earnings report on Thursday showing long-term AI benefits, I expected to see large bullish options positions in NVIDIA. I was stunned to see 22,800 new June contracts with a $5 strike price! $NVDA 20250620 5.0 CALL$  With NVIDIA trading around $135, a $5 strike means deep in-the-money options, with prices approximately equal to stock price minus strike price. Each contract cost around $13,000, making the 22,800 contracts worth about $296 million.Deep in-the-money options have poor liquidity, and since this large order wasn't executed on-exchange, it took considerable time to fill.While the strike price may not provide much directional guidance, a $300 million purchase representing 2.28 million shares upon

I deeply miss the washout from August 5th last year.

The rebound caused call volume to disperse put volume - option trading didn't become one-sided. At 12PM I saw no opportunity for the second half, so I closed
