Quad Witching Coming! Pick 0DTE Options?

The first Quadruple witching day of 2024 is on its way - this Friday! On this day, 4 kinds of derivatives will expire. Heavy trading volume makes the market highly volatile compared to normal days. Zero-day expiration (0DTE) options, also known as same-day expiration options, are options contracts that expire on the same day they are traded. This concept has been expanded: options expiring that week can also be counted as 0DTE. ---------------- Would you choose 0DTE options as Quad witching day is around the corner?

Who wanna take NVDA stakes above 130?

The only big company that can still maintain an IV Percentile above 70% by the Fourth Witching Day is probably $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ as Friday's exchanges were really intense.There are those who want to close, those who want to rollover, those who want to sell "insurance" and those who want to go up to 150 in the short term ......After this drop on Thursday, the PUTs above 130 are in jeopardy of becoming in-the-money, meaning that the sellers (PUTs) will be the ones to take over the long side above 130."Taking Nvidia is fine, but doesn't really want to be above 130" is probably what most investors are thinking right now, so the pressure to close their positions, or the focus on Friday's session will be extremely high.Another big thing on Friday was

Options Spy | The Tesla put strike price is in line with analyst targets

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ was downgraded to "underweight" by Wells Fargo Bank, dragging Tesla shares down 4.5% so far this year, Tesla shares have fallen 31.8%. Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan said Tesla's growth in its core markets has slowed, calling Tesla a "growth company without growth," noting that sales in the second half of 2023 were up just 3 percent from the first half, while prices fell 5 percent. Tesla's sales are expected to be flat this year and decline in 2025, which downgraded the stock to "underweight" and slashed its price target to $120 from $200.

Deception from Quadruple witch days

There is a phenomenon known as the gamma squeeze, in which market makers buy stocks in order to hedge calls that have been sold, which indirectly causes the stock price to rise abnormally. This is similar to the short squeeze in equities, which is a mechanism that triggers account risk and leads to a snowball phenomenon.The gamma squeeze is not very common, and it takes the right time and the right place for a bullish order to trigger a surge in stock prices. Because options are a illiquid product compared with stocks, options trading volume is large enough to have an impact on stock price trading. The problem is often that after the option is bought, if there is no continuous purchase to follow up, the stock price will fall immediately, and how much the call option is lost.Therefore, gamm

Pump or Dump? No correct no wrong! [Doubt]  [Doubt]  [Doubt]   Quadruple witching does not have a quantifiable bullish or bearish bias. Instead, the event is largely a function of speculation and investor sentiment. When quadruple witching occurs, traders should expect increased volatility and manage their positions accordingly. The resulting market swings could be bullish or bearish depending on how investors interpret the situation. [Chuckle]  [Chuckle]  [Chuckle]   Traders who expect a sharp rise in volatility during quadruple witching may decide to buy options, anticipating that prices will rise due to increased extrinsic value.

Before Nvidia's violent rally on Tuesday, there was a very interesting phenomenon: extreme out-of-the-money call options expiring this week were heavily bought.By observing the usual daily opening situation, I found that the opening of out-of-the-money options this week was very unusual, and some extreme out-of-the-money options opened very high: $NVDA 20240315 1870.0 CALL$ $NVDA 20240315 1890.0 CALL$ $NVDA 20240315 1920.0 CALL$ $NVDA 20240315 1910.0 CALL$ $Checked the opening time point, it was about 10 o 'clo

Expecting big swings but it doesn’t change the strategy at all for those who are investors. Will still be a buy when or only if the price is right. However, if there is a squeeze pushing up prices, then it will be just a drama night to watch for those happy to just hold their positions. Of course, can consider selling a portion or all of one’s holdings to take profit and to buy them back at a later time when the price is right. For traders, it will be a busy night. Not an expert on derivatives and options. But I guess the same principles hold. May want to exit earlier if the volatility is beyond’s one risk appetite. As with all, buying and selling decisions are both a science and an art. Stay calm and trade wisely.

Quad Witching is creeping up on us and I'm feeling pretty bearish about it. You know what that means? Time to get my hands dirty with some 0DTE options and brace myself for some downward movement. The market's been looking shaky lately and I'm not feeling too confident about the future. Market makers might have an incentive to bring the markets down now that everyone is sooo long. Plus historically this week is a very weak one for $S&P 500(.SPX)$ .Big red going into Friday! It's well worth looking up.

Let’s go Bargain Hunting for well established stocks at lower prices with the first Quadruple Witching Day of 2024 this Friday! We can also do Options, depending on our individual investing style. If the stock price moves up or down significantly, doing Options offers much better profits than owning rhe stock. Maybe $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ will experience a gamma squeeze again.
Here comes Quad Witching and I'm leaning towards the bearish side. I'm considering some 0DTE options to hedge my bets. The market's been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride lately and I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon. For the past 5 years there has always been a pull back on the first quadruple witching day. This year is no different.Image
March Quarterly Option Expiration Weeks have been quite bullish. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has been up 27 times in the last 41 years while $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ has advanced 25 times. More recently, S&P 500 and NASDAQ have both advanced 12 times in the last 16 weeks. Quad Witching is just around the corner and I'm feeling bullish as hell! It's time to dive into some 0DTE options and ride the wave to the moon!
Friday is Quadruple witching day. The market is looking juicy and I'm feeling optimistic about the future. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines and miss out on this opportunity. I will buy some T $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 0DTE calls. We’ve reached the bottom of #tesla boys! I still say tesla goes to all time highs before Friday and I haven’t sold one single call. 💎🙌🏼
