$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ The first downside target after the pullback is 155.Earnings were decent, but didn’t live up to the squeeze expectations set before the report, which is why the stock dropped.Before earnings, there were two large but opposing trades. One was bullish, targeting 182.5, set up as a butterfly spread with a very low cost—only about $400k.The other was bearish, targeting below 155, by buying the 155 put $AMD 20250822 155.0 PUT$  and selling the 140 put $AMD 20250822 140.0 PUT$ , which is still open. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ It’ll be difficult for NVIDIA to br

Check out this momentum strategy with an 83% win rate—PLTR’s Q2 earnings were nothing short of spectacular: $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ A record-breaking report in the company’s history;Revenue accelerating for the 8th consecutive quarter;Combined revenue growth rate and profit margin far exceeding 80%;Q3 revenue growth guidance as high as 50%;Full-year growth expectation for the key US commercial segment raised from 68% to “at least 85%”;How to interpret these expectations:Compared to peers, Palantir’s performance is extremely rare;Scored a high 94 on the “Rule of 40” (revenue growth % + EBITDA margin %);Much of the future positive outlook has already been priced in;Valuation is high, but its scarcity value means the market continues to ch

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The options open interest is showing a pattern this week of preparing for an upside move in the short term but hedging for possible downside in the future.There's been very aggressive opening of 182.5–190 call positions expiring this week, which looks a bit like a short squeeze. This could be in anticipation of a surprise beat in AMD's earnings, potentially causing NVDA's stock price to soar. However, all of this is predicated on the stock price holding above 180.From the perspective of large trades, though, the market doesn't seem to believe that NVIDIA will be able to stay above 180 in the coming weeks.For example, there was a large sell call order for the August 22 expiry at 175 strike:

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you!1.Wrote these naked calls on $Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ for earnings. Took the 12.5 call strike. Should have taken a lower call strike for more premium, but was too chicken. Did not write any puts.Flat earnings for the remainder of 2025, but lots of "business opportunities" projected in 2026 and 2027. Will be adding shares via cash-secured puts.Image2.Took profit on the put-write trades on $Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ and $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ that we took on Friday. Still gonna play both for earnings. Got back into the trade at higher strikes but at much less contra

As Q2 earnings season continues with the familiar theme of stocks gapping up and selling off post-earnings, the most reliable strategy this week remains sell calls after earnings.However, based on the current option flow, AMD, PLTR, and SMCI do not show significantly higher upside expectations compared to last week, so selling calls early may also be a viable approach. $Figma(FIG)$ Figma’s options begin trading on its third day post-IPO, with August 15 expirations worth monitoring. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Last week, institutions sold calls at $182.5 and $185 while hedging with call buys at $190 and $195.After Friday’s roll, this week’s sell call strikes remain $180 and $185:$AMD 20250808 180.0 CALL$AM

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you!1.Majority of the gamma for $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is at 6250 last day. Wouldn't be surprised to see us stay around this area (+/- 10 to 20 points) for today.Wanted to write a call credit spread to complete the 0DTE iron condor, but there isn't much premium at the gap fill level of 6330 or higher for a 10-wide spread. Don't really want to get caught in a gap fill scenario if something good happens in the market today. Probably unlikely, but the cushion just isn't there for our liking.Image2. $Strategy(MSTR)$ getting back into put-writing territory for us. Limped in with this trade.STO MSTR Aug 8 expiry 240 strike putImage3.
