      Worst-Case Scenario This Week

      When it comes to the tariff agreement, what exactly does Trump want?I don’t know. The market doesn’t know either. So, the approach seems to be to crash the market first and then figure things out later—hence the market drop. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Since we don’t know what the final tariff agreement will look like or what its future impact might be, newly opened options positions are concentrated on this week’s expiration dates. The thinking seems to be “just get through this week.”Institutions are selling calls at the 114–115 strikes and hedging with positions at 121–125. This suggests the stock’s upper limit this week is 114–115.On the bearish side, significant open interest has been observed for puts at the 105, 104, and 100 strikes. Among these:The 100

      1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Will it go Back to 5500? 🤔Read below 👇We saw a low of 5500 get pinned back on 3/13 and have been forming higher lows since. 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. IF the market can consolidate between 5800-5850 (form higher lows) then we will likely see a move back to 6000.Scenario #2: NeutralMarket gets to 5670 and fails we see a test to 5600. We li

      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. This scenario warrants continued observation. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The sudden

      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

      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

      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

      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. This scenario warrants continued observation. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The sudden

      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
