As it stands the market is still holding higher lows as long as 5670 holds. If 5670 gets taken out the story changes and we can see a flush back to 5500. As traders we want to keep an open mind and be able to react when different circumstances arise.Here are 3 Possible Scenarios BelowScenario #1: Bullish Market holds 5670 and starts basing above there. We then see a move back to 5800 to break to the 5820-5850 region.

      Bullish on NVIDIA for Earnings Season: Which Strategy is More Cost-Effective?

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ "Same as before, just at a different time."Last Monday, NVIDIA opened higher and rallied, with institutions aggressively selling $110 puts to collect premiums. Yesterday, another Monday, institutions continued the same play, selling this week’s $115 puts:$NVDA 20250328 115.0 PUT$ Open Interest: 39,500 contracts.In theory, simply following this trade works fine. For those concerned about a pullback today, you could opt for next week’s expiration instead.For the more cautious traders, you can continue selling $110 puts. Each week, this could net you about $50 per contract until April 17—or alternatively, you could directly sell:

      Earnings Season Incoming: Financial Stocks Lead the Rebound

      A slight miscalculation.The original idea last week was for the market to decline this week, then rebound next week after tariffs were finalized. It seemed like a solid plan. But if everyone expects a shakeout, why not just rally right away? That’s also a form of shakeout.Of course, Monday's rally could still mimic last week’s pattern, where the market climbed early in the week but then fell back in subsequent days. That’s a common strategy. However, if there’s a pullback, it will likely only last for about a week. With earnings season fast approaching, what else can happen?Chinese stocks might experience a sideways consolidation, followed by a sudden drop and then a rebound.

      Options Floor Traders Strike: April Puts on Chinese Stocks

      Not a moment wasted mourning the triple witching day, as large April put orders on Chinese stocks have already hit the market!I initially wanted to reflect on the triple witching day, but considering it’s been thoroughly discussed over the past three weeks, there’s little left to add. If open interest on monthly options becomes too heavy, the market tends to adjust ahead of time, with everything settling on expiration day itself.There are always noteworthy developments to watch during the week, such as how the clear targets of triple witching day attract excessive arbitrageurs, causing certain strike prices to skyrocket. While arbitrageurs often focus on out-of-the-money options, their activity can still lead to some market volatility.The April Show: Chinese Stocks Under PressureThe highli

Reciprocal tariffs will take effect on April 2, followed by the start of earnings season. This means the market is likely to continue fluctuating next week, just as it has this week.However, unlike the past two weeks, bearish forces will have limited influence, and the volatility will be more straightforward. It won’t be worse than last week.Institutions are selling calls at $122 and $123 while hedging with long calls at $130 and $132. Next week’s strategy and str

      The Tables Have Turned: The Sheep Fights Back

      Never thought this week the "shearing party" (option sellers) and market makers would end up in a direct showdown. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The options open interest data made me laugh out loud. On Monday, the "shearing party" had their fun by selling $110 puts expiring this week $NVDA 20250321 110.0 PUT$ , with 90,000 contracts opened, mostly by sellers.As shown in the data, the trading volume was concentrated at the market open. After all, the time value of near-expiry options is tight, and the earlier you sell, the sooner you lock in profits.However, don’t be surprised if the stock dips over the next two days—this is often the effect of heavy put-selling. Also, it’s likely that the mark

      This week seems packed with events, from GTC to FOMC, but the real market moves have already happened in the past two weeks. What’s left are minor rebounds and pullbacks within a range this week. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ It’s the final battle week of the triple witching period, but I don’t think even the GTC conference will drive NVIDIA’s price up significantly. This is because capital’s attention is on the application layer—they want to see breakthroughs in AI applications. In the current state, no matter how much hardware improves, it’s unlikely to stimulate further capital expenditure.Institutions are well-prepared, selling $128 calls and $126 calls to hedge against $138 and $136 calls.There’s one rather peculiar combo trade: buying $120 calls

If there's a positive reaction to FOMC, GS can bounce 30-40 pts over the next 2 weeks. The risk/reward if favoring the upside if Powell can be nice this week. Here's my trade idea 👇 Trigger: GS above 544✅ Trade idea: GS March 28 560CTargets: 565,573 🎯 After a 150+ pt drop, GS started to show some signs of a bottom above 524. GS managed to have a green day on Friday and closed somewhat near the 544 resistance. GS through 544 can pop up to 557 before FOMC. If there's a positive reaction to FOMC, GS to 573+ is in play. Let's see if Banks can start to rally higher after a 4 week sell off.

      The Tables Have Turned: The Sheep Fights Back

      Never thought this week the "shearing party" (option sellers) and market makers would end up in a direct showdown. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The options open interest data made me laugh out loud. On Monday, the "shearing party" had their fun by selling $110 puts expiring this week $NVDA 20250321 110.0 PUT$ , with 90,000 contracts opened, mostly by sellers.As shown in the data, the trading volume was concentrated at the market open. After all, the time value of near-expiry options is tight, and the earlier you sell, the sooner you lock in profits.However, don’t be surprised if the stock dips over the next two days—this is often the effect of heavy put-selling. Also, it’s likely that the mark

      Continuing Duan Yongping’s Covered Call Strategy: Absolutely Brilliant

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Let’s continue discussing Duan Yongping’s covered call strategy. This strategy is absolutely brilliant. There were a lot of points in yesterday’s article that weren’t fully explained.Market Expectations for Next WeekNext week’s market expectations are similar to this week. Reciprocal tariffs will take effect on April 2, followed by the start of earnings season. This means the market is likely to continue fluctuating next week, just as it has this week.However, unlike the past two weeks, bearish forces will have limited influence, and the volatility will be more straightforward. It won’t be worse than last week.Institutions are selling calls at $122 and $123 while hedging with long calls at $130 and $132. Next week’s strategy and str

      This week seems packed with events, from GTC to FOMC, but the real market moves have already happened in the past two weeks. What’s left are minor rebounds and pullbacks within a range this week. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ It’s the final battle week of the triple witching period, but I don’t think even the GTC conference will drive NVIDIA’s price up significantly. This is because capital’s attention is on the application layer—they want to see breakthroughs in AI applications. In the current state, no matter how much hardware improves, it’s unlikely to stimulate further capital expenditure.Institutions are well-prepared, selling $128 calls and $126 calls to hedge against $138 and $136 calls.There’s one rather peculiar combo trade: buying $120 calls

      High Volatility Likely to Persist for 2 Months

      $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ Let’s start by discussing the large option trades on the volatility index, VIX. The upcoming market conditions could be mentally taxing, and looking at the VIX is a more intuitive way to gauge it.The current market seems to have bottomed out but hasn’t fully hit the bottom yet. What people fear is not bottom-fishing, but the long process of consolidation. After patience is exhausted, the market could dip again, scattering retail investors, only to rally afterward, completing the "retail investor cleaning plan."A typical example is the performance of Chinese stocks in January.Specifically, institutions recently rolled their bullish VIX spreads. The sell call lower limit was raised from 30 to 35, while the buy call upper

      I’m Celebrating Early for the Market Makers: Triple Witching Day Was a Huge Win

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Next week’s triple witching day, March 21, could be a perfect scenario for market makers. If NVIDIA’s stock price rebounds to $122, both the in-the-money call and put options expiring in March would be completely wiped out. The open interest ranking is shown in the chart.Staying above $115 would also suffice, as the breakeven cost for the head open interests is above $11. Adding the straddle premium brings it to $22, meaning the current positions are already in the red.The most surprising trade yesterday was a 90 put expiring this week, $NVDA 20250314 90.0 PUT$ , with 99,000 contracts opened. The trade direction was selling, which essentially rules out the possibili

      Has everyone’s psychological price level been breached?

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Options open interest data from March 7th shows that new call options are primarily short-term, expiring this week, with most of the action focused on selling. For put options, the $110 strike price is predominantly sold, while deep out-of-the-money puts are largely bought. For this week’s options, the $118 put saw 19,000 new open interest bought, which appears to be a rollover from March monthly $118 puts.Institutions continue to sell calls and roll positions. The lowest strike price for selling calls is $116, with hedging purchases of $124 calls. The strike prices for new put positions seem scattered, with close attention needed for the $105-$110 range.Compared to Monday, March 3rd, changes in open interest are significant. Call o

      NVIDIA Bears in a Short-term Relay, Bulls Quietly Preparing for GTC

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The 115 puts $NVDA 20250307 115.0 PUT$  were closed on Friday, even earlier than expected. The open interest for the 115 puts has now dropped to just 59,300 contracts:However, new bearish positions were immediately opened. The 119 puts expiring on March 14, $NVDA 20250314 119.0 PUT$ , saw 10,000 contracts opened with a transaction amount of over $5 million. Considering the short expiration date, the probability of these positions being closed in the next couple of days is high, likely betting on further tariff-related declines.On the bullish side, institutions are selling calls with strike prices
