NVIDIA is being institutionally pushed towards 130, but whether it can stabilize above 132 depends on whether short sellers want to hinder it. Looking at Friday's opening positions, it's still time for call options to perform.
Then, following previous patterns, institutions' sell calls will force position rolling, leading to stock price pullback. Of course, the bottom line remains at 120, and selling puts can be considered.
$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$
What's concerning is that TSMC is being targeted by bears without apparent reason.
Someone opened positions buying 49,000 190 puts expiring this week, with a transaction value of about $4.26 million $TSM 20250214 190.0 PUT$
These massive doomsday options usually only have a two-day shelf life, so last Friday's short positions must be realized by Monday or Tuesday, otherwise, they'll have to close positions at a loss.
An 8% drop from 208 to 190 would theoretically affect other stocks, but currently, there are no other visible short signals, so we'll observe for now. The possible negative catalyst I can think of is Trump's policy treaty adding new restrictions on TSMC.
Large long call position rolling.
195 call $AMZN 20250221 195.0 CALL$ 22,500 contracts rolled to 220 call $AMZN 20250620 220.0 CALL$ 33,500 contracts
Looking at last quarter's performance, $AMZN 20250221 195.0 CALL$ was quite successful, but as mentioned before, these long call positions should only be used as strike price reference and not followed for long positions, as their purpose might not be purely bullish.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$
The institutional call spread strategy this week is to sell call $PLTR 20250214 120.0 CALL$ , buy call $PLTR 20250214 125.0 CALL$
The oscillation range is between 100-120, and selling puts at 100 can be considered.
