Triple Witching Playbook

$NVDA$

High probability: range-bound snoozefest.
Low probability: total meltdown.

War’s not over. Everyone’s waiting for Trump to drop the hammer. If he does — buy the crash. If peace breaks out instead? Short squeeze goes vertical.

Usually selling calls here is risky. But for NVDA — and the rest of Mag 7 — squeeze potential is capped. Market’s glued to Q2 capex. No upside till earnings. Pick a strike with room, hedge it. Call spreads are fine.

Institutions ran it back: same 185–190 spread as last week $NVDA 20260320 185.0 CALL$  $NVDA 20260320 190.0 CALL$ .

170 puts $NVDA 20260320 170.0 PUT$  saw heavy sells. Betting Trump cools things this week.

Triple witching: equity, index, futures options all expire. That locks price ranges tight. NVDA pin? 180–190 if nothing breaks.

If something breaks? Then we're in a different world.

Half size if you’re itchy. Cash if you’re not.

$SPY$

Calls priced a squeeze this week. We got a rally Monday — just not much of one. Didn't even tag 675.

Puts priced a crash to 642. Didn't happen Monday. Won't happen Tuesday either. Friday pin: >660.
Tail case: 630.

$MU$

Earnings range: 400–500. Numbers look solid. Memory pricing strong into 2028. But tape’s crowded, macro’s messy. Volatility both ways.

Put flow looks ugly — mostly externals, not the business. Reminds me of TSLA at certain moments.

Bottom line: won't break 360. And 260? Buyers will swarm.

$USO$

Arb flow active: sell 180 call $USO 20260320 180.0 CALL$ . Betting no oil spike this week.

Overall view: USO holds 100+.

$KWEB$

Bounce target still ~32.
