First, let's look at this week's large orders from the "Put Buyer." Sell Puts: $ORCL 20260306 116.0 PUT$ : 85,000 contracts sold to open $SMH 20260306 350.0 PUT$ : 26,000 contracts sold to open However, the play on AMD was different — Buy Puts: $AMD 20260306 160.0 PUT$ : 42,000 contracts bought to open Implied volatility (IV) on out-of-the-money semiconductor puts remains extremely elevated. This isn't due to bearish AI commentary, but rather the macroeconomic risk-off sentiment stemming from the Israel-Iran war, fueling expectations of a broad market pullback. It's crucial to note that t

$NVDA$ First glance at the flows and one thing's clear — 170 is the line. The 170 put for March 6 expiry just printed 238k contracts. At this size, whether buy or sell, it's gonna act as a magnet. But it also means breaking below 170 is gonna be tough. So back to the usual: 170–195 chop. Next week's institutional call spread? Sell 192.5 $NVDA 20260306 192.5 CALL$ , hedge with 200 $NVDA 20260306 200.0 CALL$ . And the put sales keep stacking: $ORCL 20260306 130.0 PUT$  — 48k opened$SMH 20260306 355.0 PUT$  — 62k opened<

NVDA's earnings event was priced like a macro print — and it traded like one too. FOMC-style: sell the headline, maybe bounce the next day. NVDA? We'll see. Early flow doesn’t look great. A bearish position opened: 10k April 2nd 160 puts $NVDA 20260402 160.0 PUT$ . Notional: ~$2M. April 2nd rings a bell. Last year’s tariff shock. This trade might not just be about earnings — macro’s in the driver’s seat. Iran, tariffs, China. Any of these could move markets. Even with macro hanging overhead, I still think NVDA is a sell-the-dip name. Could be a chop year. Range still looks 170–195. Unless Trump does something stupid — then all bets are off. This year is setup for a brutal bull-bear fight. Core question: where does the mon

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you! 1. Took the opportunity on that big dump to write a 0DTE $S&P 500(.SPX)$ put credit spread when vol shot up. 6710/6700 strikes. Can close now for profit or let it run for worthless expiration (max profit). Image 2. Took profit on $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$ short calls that we wrote last week to play earnings today. $14K profit booked. 🤑 Our long position is still overall in the green, but we're contemplating exiting out of that and writings puts to get back in.

Checking today's option flows — another wave of massive weekly put sales across chips: $AMD 20260227 192.5 PUT$  — 70k opened$AVGO 20260227 285.0 PUT$  — 20k opened$ORCL 20260227 131.0 PUT$  — 15k opened$SMH 20260227 390.0 PUT$  — 13k opened$TSM 20260227 360.0 PUT$  — 13k opened This has the same vibe as pre-holiday put sales back in Jan. But here's the twist: this time delta is below 0.08 — way lower than the 0.13–0.18 range from before. Dig deeper and

$NVDA$ The bull-bear battle this year has never been more intense. Just when I thought this week's NVDA earnings were a foregone conclusion, this order hit the tape: Buy Call $NVDA 20260320 205.0 CALL$  Block print: 29k contracts opened. Estimated notional: $13M+. Meanwhile, the weekly call spread camp is running: Sell Call 195 $NVDA 20260227 195.0 CALL$  / Buy Call 202.5 $NVDA 20260227 202.5 CALL$ . Translation: this week, 195 likely caps. And looking at put flow, downside could stretch below 180. But here’s the twist — call strikes below 200 are thinning out. Totally different from

Positive news from OpenAI, with monthly growth rate recovering by 10%, directly ignited a short squeeze on Monday, crushing the bears. However, subsequent market action will likely continue with sector rotation. $NVDA$ Both large bullish and bearish single-leg orders appeared (not a spread): $NVDA 20260220 175.0 PUT$ , 64,000 contracts opened. $NVDA 20260220 207.5 CALL$ , 78,000 contracts opened. Based on the overall opening activity, the price is highly likely to continue oscillating within the large 170-190 range from this week into next. Therefore, the 207.5 call is quite intriguing; currently, it seems difficult for the price to break above 200 even

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1. $Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ announces earnings after the closing bell on Monday. Expected move is ~14%. Daily chart looks so ugly. Anyone taking an optionselling trade to play earnings? Probs gonna write a strangle, Feb 27 expiry, targeting the 10 put strike and call strike tbd (maybe in the low 20s). Image Image 2. $Cipher Mining Inc.(CIFR)$ announces earnings before the opening bell on Tuesday. Expected move is ~15%. Looking at the Feb 27 expiry, 11 strike for a put-write trade to play earnings. Might also strangle it with a call strike in the low 20s. Problem is ... there isn't much volume support below if CIFR loses its curr

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you! 1. $Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$ announces earnings after the closing bell on Tuesday this week. Expected move is ~8%. Still going to continue playing these optionselling trades conservatively. Targeting the 120 or 125 strike for put-write trades, Feb 20 expiry. Will also strangle with naked calls, strike in the 200-220 range depending on available premium, Feb 20 expiry. Image Image 2. $Figma(FIG)$ announces earnings after market close on Wednesday. Expected move is ~13%. Has FIG reached bottom? Gotta assume that expectations are low going into this earnings print. Like many tech IPOs, this stock was pumped up so that large/institutional

Checking the option flow today, I ran into a familiar sight — a wave of deep OUTM put sales across major chip names. Last seen on Jan 26. Flashback to Jan 22: $NVDA 20260220 175.0 PUT$  — 109.8k opened$AMD 20260220 187.5 PUT$  — 74.9k opened$ORCL 20260220 137.0 PUT$  — 56.8k opened$SMH 20260220 380.0 PUT$  — 43.4k opened$AVGO 20260220 305.0 PUT$  — 41.0k opened$MU 20260220 362.5 PUT$  —

$NVDA$ Barring any surprises, NVIDIA looks set to continue grinding between 170 and 200 through the first half of the year—a sweet spot for option sellers. I came across 10k contracts opened on the $NVDA 20260618 220.0 CALL$ . Nothing flagged as a block trade, but digging into the fills shows the orders were chopped up into tiny pieces. The screenshot says it all. Most of the flow? Sell-side. Not a coincidence—Broadcom showed the exact same footprint. $AVGO 20260618 400.0 CALL$  also saw around 10k contracts, finely sliced, same direction: sells. Why the cloak-and-dagger? Likely to avoid getting front-run. Both are ~0.35 delta. If the stock runs the wr

$NVDA$ Looking at the option flows, NVDA's upcoming earnings next week don't seem to have any substantial impact on the stock's trend. Seeing that large sell call order at the 205 strike for March 13th $NVDA 20260313 205.0 CALL$  tells me the market still expects the top to hold. The main issue is that the AI sector trend is too transparent—there are no major off-exchange catalysts to add fuel. What the market really needs is a groundbreaking use case or a significant leap forward. Anything beyond that is already priced in, just burning through valuation. That said, with earnings approaching, implied volatility is picking up, which means more premium for sellers to harvest. For now, the range holds through early March: 1

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading strategies with you! 1. $Micron Technology(MU)$ Trade Idea: Feb 27 440C Trigger: 424 ✅ Targets: 442, 455 🎯 Stop: 412 🛑 MU moved from 394 to 430 this past week. MU to 442,455 in play this week if it holds above 424. Calls can work above 424. MU through 455 can run to 500+.

You probably remember the 300k contract VIX call orders we mentioned a couple of days ago: $VIX 20260218 35.0 CALL$  $VIX 20260318 35.0 CALL$ . Unexpectedly, the sell-off has begun so quickly. Currently, it looks like a bottom will be formed before mid-March, presenting a great buying opportunity at that time. $NVDA$ Regarding this collective pullback in the AI sector, there's not much to elaborate on. The fact that there are fewer investable assets in the market is not a good sign. Looking back to 2025, it was a vibrant market where one could pick winners with ease—that was the best environment, not just for investing but for AI development itself. Althou

$TSLA$ Key News: Cybercab autonomous electric vehicle enters mass production at the Texas factory, aiming to increase utilization to 50-60 hours per week. Energy segment emerges as a new growth driver; Shanghai energy storage factory operational; $200 billion budgeted for AI and Energy sectors in 2026. FSD advances localized training in China, though constrained by regulations, using existing data for tuning. Options Analysis: Current Implied Volatility (IV) is relatively high, indicating market expectation for significant price movement. Overall sentiment leans bullish. This Week (2/13): Expected to swing widely within $400 - $430. Next Week (2/20): The range may widen to $395 - $440. Key Support: $400 - $405. This interval has highly concentrated put option (PUT) open interest, forming a

Checked the 300k contract VIX 35 call position $VIX 20260318 35.0 CALL$ , it's still open, suggesting the correction is not yet over. $NVDA$ Next week continues the search for a bottom. A large bearish order opened: the weekly expiry 157.5 put $NVDA 20260213 157.5 PUT$ , with 60,000 contracts for a total notional of over $6 million. Therefore, tonight's rally is more suitable for selling calls. Consider strikes above 190: $NVDA 20260213 190.0 CALL$  I noticed institutions opened a 177.5–182.5 call spread for next week $NVDA 20
