1 $Alcoa(AA)$ reasons for the rise similar to Macy's acquisition drive department store sector. I have been watching the trend of the metal sector since Nippon Steel announced its acquisition of $U.S. Steel(X)$ , and then I waited for this big 8000 lot CALL option order $AA 20240216 40.0 CALL$ . But as a rule of thumb, a large call order is 50-50, so I'd still go with the sell put: $AA 20240119 33.0 PUT$

2 $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ The bears have finally struck, 20,000 lots of big PUT orders $MARA 20240119 25.0 PUT$ . However, I think the ATM exercise price is more subtle, short this stock out-of-the-money option leverage is larger, and ATM has the meaning of closing the position after two days of bearish. So I decided to do the same and close my position on Friday if it didn't fall.

3 $Intel(INTC)$ is very strong, even broke through, I do not know if it is because of the good news brought by Pelosi. Anyway, because what I did last week was covered call, I waited for the expiration exercise and had no further thoughts on the operation.
