Triple Witching Goal: Crush the Puts

$NVDA$The market has returned to recent highs, making the direction for the next three weeks uncertain again. In assessing market risk ahead of the FOMC, one notable signal is that 14k contracts of the long-dated 170 call $NVDA 20260220 170.0 CALL$  were reduced.It's uncommon for institutions to reduce long calls, but it doesn't necessarily imply a deep decline. It could also indicate an expectation for extended consolidation, which would erode the option's time value.Institutions selling calls this week chose the 187.5 strike $NVDA 20251212 187.5 CALL$ , hedging with the 195 call $NVDA 20251

$SPY$The biggest uncertainty before year-end is whether the market will pull back to 650. SPY put activity shows various strategies hedging for this scenario, e.g., buy $SPY 20251231 680.0 PUT$  sell $SPY 20251231 650.0 PUT$ .$NVDA$Next week is still expected to trade between $170–190, with potentially higher volatility than this week. For a straightforward approach, consider selling the 200 call $NVDA 20251219 200.0 CALL$ , or even a January expiry.Put activity also reflects significant uncertainty ahead of Christmas, which makes sense—if the stock can’t rally, it will likely move lower

Bears Target Google with $12 Million Put Purchase

$GOOGL$The broader market is likely to continue its rebound today, with SPY potentially reaching 688. However, not every stock will ride this wave—sector rotation is evident as year-end approaches.The rotation has turned against Google this time. Bears opened a position by buying 10,000 contracts of the Jan 9th 315 Put $GOOGL 20260109 315.0 PUT$ , with a total premium of approximately $12 million.Overall, excluding this put activity, Google's options flow still appears strong, suggesting a likely trading range between $315–325. However, following this significant bearish bet, while the stock may hold above $315 this week, the outlook beyond next week becomes less certain.$NVDA$Maintaining the view of a $180–185 trading r

【Options Insights】Tiger Investors Cash In Big Amid This Week’s U.S. Stock Volatility

U.S. stocks swung between policy tailwinds, beat earnings, and bearish pushes this week. News that the Trump administration plans to issue an executive order to boost the robotics industry ignited the humanoid robot sector — Tesla’s stock rose 3%, iRobot surged over 50%, and Tesla even released a video of its “Optimus” humanoid robot walking to amplify momentum.[Surprised]Yet beneath the market enthusiasm, divisions are growing: Big short-seller Michael Burry publicly announced a short position on Tesla, warning of shareholder dilution via stock-based compensation. Coupled with the 13% year-on-year decline in Tesla's first-quarter deliveries and falling sales in the European market, the tug-of-war between bulls and bears is causing significant stock price volatility. This week, many Tiger

Lots of bearish sentiment surrounding this name lately which could provide opportunity when many are scared. After ripping to the mid 400s earlier this year, the stock has pulled back over ~60% from the highs, landing right into the 150–160 demand zone that held multiple times in 2024. Last week, price finally showed signs of strength, catching a bid off that level while Bitcoin itself is stabilizing above 90k.As you can see the 185 is a big level that has gotten rejected many times in the past.

$NVDA$Following Trump's hints about the Fed chair nominee last night, the market gapped up then sold off, printing a bearish upper wick. Interestingly, a significant number of puts were closed, including 28k contracts of this week's 165 put $NVDA 20251205 165.0 PUT$ , signaling shorts are backing off from an immediate assault.Notably, bearish news like OpenAI pausing ads to accelerate new models and Amazon's chip development challenging NVIDIA had little impact.The likely closing range for this week now looks like $180–185.$SPY$The immediate risk of a sharp drop to 650 has diminished. However, a pullback to 670 is still possible. Overall, the bias remains toward retesting the previous high around 689.$AAPL$Apple is leadin
$NVDA$Selling calls into strength remains suitable for the current setup, with strikes preferably above 190.Based on Monday's options flow, the probability of a pullback to 160 within the next month is quite high. The Dec 5th 165 put $NVDA 20251205 165.0 PUT$  saw 41k contracts opened. The overall delta was positive, indicating seller dominance, but such heavy open interest also creates downward pressure.A retest of 170 is possible this week. If considering selling puts, it's advisable to add a protective put leg or wait for an actual pullback before entering.Looking at the broader open interest, it will likely be difficult for NVDA to break above 200 before the Jan 16 monthly expiration.

Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 11/28/2025

$UVXY$  By Lawrence G. McMillan The stock market sold off fairy heavily into the 6500-6550 support zone for $SPX on November 14, but then it rallied strongly off of that support area. That support has been tested several times and continues to get an A+ on the test. But overhead, there is a myriad of resistance, so for now $SPX remains in a trading range. The index has rallied back to and slightly exceeded its declining 20-day moving average, near 6750. Above that, however, there is a downtrend line at about 6850 and then the all-time highs, at 6900. Equity-only put-call ratios have continued to march higher, though, as traders have been steadily buying puts probably more as a protective measure than a bearish speculation. Regardless, as long

【Options Insights】How Tiger Investors Turned Tech Swings into Options Trading Wins

Against the backdrop of shifting Fed policy and divergence in the AI sector, U.S. stocks have seen significantly heightened volatility recently. On one hand, institutions still stand by the long-term thesis for the AI space; on the other, tech stocks have swung more sharply since November. Some AI names are seesawing wildly amid shifting sentiment, and institutions remain deeply divided on whether AI valuations have overheated.Looking to lock in gains amid market swings? Options strategies could be the answer. Many Tiger investors nailed the market rhythm this week. They earned premiums amid AI stock volatility and held onto upside for their positions, turning market uncertainty into tangible profits![Smart]NVIDIA’s recent performance is a classic case of opportunity within volatility.

【Options Insights】How Tiger Investors Turned Tech Swings into Options Trading Wins
Brief update given the holiday-thinned trading schedule.This market squeeze is a rebound, not a trend reversal. Two unusual moves caught my attention:Tesla's long call position $TSLA 20260220 440.0 CALL$  was closed. This is the same position that was just rolled on Friday. Closing it just one day later is highly unusual. This likely indicates strong expectations for an impending pullback, prompting an early risk-off move.Google's options flow shifted defensive. The top open interest calls are being closed, while put opening is active. For example, 21k contracts of the Dec 19th 310 Put $GOOGL 20251219 310.0 PUT$  were opened as buys. This clearly shows
