$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ The most indicative SPY long put large order rolled positions, shifting from the June-expiry 545 put $SPY 20250620 545.0 PUT$  to the September-expiry 530 put $SPY 20250919 530.0 PUT$ . The respective volumes were 87,000 and 103,000 contracts.The rolled put option’s strike price is 530, which is lower than the original 545 strike price, suggesting a less optimistic outlook. However, compared to SPY's current price of 550, this pullback expectation is already relatively positive.Why is this the most indicative? The $SPY 2025

In addition to NVDA, TSLA, and SPY, there are also notable large orders for GOOGL, AAPL, PLTR, INTC, ASHR, and CORZ. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ This week's fluctuation range is broadly 100–115 and narrowly 105–113, depending on the tech earnings reports this week. However, considering the stock price may align with 110 or even reach 120 before May 16, selecting a small position to sell put options with a strike price of 105 is reasonable.Special emphasis on small positions and risk control here. After all, we are in the middle of tariff negotiations. While Trump aims for a quiet earnings season for U.S. stocks, others may not think the same. Ideally, the stock price will trend upward during earnings season, but in a less ideal scenario, a sudden backstab coul

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Elon, it’s great to have you back!On Thursday, April 24, the four most representative bearish options were closed out: $TSLA 20250815 190.0 PUT$ , $TSLA 20250815 185.0 PUT$ , $TSLA 20250815 170.0 PUT$ , $TSLA 20250815 165.0 PUT$ .I talked about these positions in my March 12 article. This time, the bears didn’t close out everything, but they exited the majority. Even though Tesla’s fundamentals haven’t improved much, Musk’s return definitely forced the sho

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ The market digested Trump’s dovish talk on Wednesday and split into two camps—one bullish, one still bearish.You see this reflected in SPY options positioning. The extreme bears are still pressing their bets, with institutions putting on June expiry butterfly spreads targeting below $475. The more moderately bearish are sticking to defined-risk strategies, like selling the $570 call, buying the $525$ put, and selling the $490 put.Bulls are more aggressive, choosing strategies like selling the $540 put and buying the $560 call.Here’s some of the notable action:Buying $SPY 20250430 560.0 CALL$ , volume: 14,000 contractsSelling

Tesla really lives up to its status as a “presidential stock”—even the earnings release got a presidential boost. After Tuesday’s close, Tesla reported earnings, and then Trump just happened to announce after hours that he won’t fire Powell and will lower tariffs on China.Remember, Trump previously made a big show of announcing “buy DJT” at the open and then, intraday, announced a 90-day tariff freeze. This time, making the announcement after hours looks an awful lot like he was giving his old friend a hand.Of course, being Trump, he couldn’t hold back—he had Bessent come out at noon Tuesday to talk up the China ADRs, sending them higher during the session.Normally, an intraday leak is enough for the market to price things in, but institutions stayed rational—options volume didn’t spike, i

$Strategy(MSTR)$ Dear friends. I have some questions. I was lucky enough last spring to purchase my first stock ever. It was MSTR. And boy did that open the door for me to this game of trading. I've learned a lot, but have so much more to go. I rode it to it's high, then back down. Didn't really have a clue as to when to actually sell. In your scenario, when do you decide to buy puts?Second question. I've been thinking about $YIELDMAX MSTR OPTION INCOME STRATEGY ETF(MSTY)$ a lot. I have btc and mstr. Please pick this idea apart. Buy long dated MSTY calls at a strike of $20 or so. Buy MSTR for the ride up soon. Obviously hard to call the top, but take some of the gains and exerci

$VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ The massive sell put at $175$, $SMH 20250425 175.0 PUT$ , was closed out on Monday.As mentioned in the April 15 article, someone sold 120,000 contracts of the $175 put expiring this week back on April 14. Unsurprisingly, they didn’t make much—by April 21, just four days before expiration, the position was hastily closed.Even though $175 is a deep out-of-the-money strike and close to expiration (so time decay should be fast), Monday’s chip stock crash caused put prices to rise instead of fall. The price ended up about the same as a week earlier, so the sell put didn’t make money.It’s the classic scenario: a huge put position gets closed, and chip stoc

Fellow traders, there’s more drama to watch.Someone has placed a massive bet that chip stocks won’t fall below their previous lows before April 25th. Specifically, the trades involve selling $SMH 20250425 175.0 PUT$ , $TSM 20250425 130.0 PUT$ , and $MU 20250425 60.0 PUT$ . The positions are for 120,000 contracts, 70,000 contracts, and 50,000 contracts, respectively.If this isn’t based on insider information, then something’s definitely fishy.However, as my regular readers know, such blatantly targeted large trades are like waving cash in front of market makers—they’re irresistible bait.It’s

$KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF(KWEB)$ The level of information leakage has reached absurd proportions.Over the weekend, news broke that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced a new tariff rule on April 11th (Eastern Time). This rule exempts categories such as automatic data processors, computers, communication devices, displays and modules, and semiconductors from the "reciprocal tariffs" imposed by the Trump administration.However, prior to the official announcement, on Friday, April 11th, unusual activity in KWEB options was observed. A massive order for 110,000 contracts of $KWEB 20250425 35.0 CALL$  was opened, with a total transaction value of over $5 mi

How should we understand the idea of "The market rebounded, but it's still unsafe"?Wednesday was absolutely absurd—arguably the most unforgettable trading day of this year. But as long as Trump remains in office, I believe this "most" will inevitably be outdone.At 1:24 PM on April 9th (U.S. time), Trump posted on his Twitter account, announcing that over 75 countries had contacted U.S. representatives to negotiate issues related to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation, and non-monetary tariffs. As a result, a 90-day suspension measure had been approved. This suspension applies to reciprocal tariffs, lowering them to 10% during this period, and it takes effect immediately.Unsurprisingly, the market soared collectively.This 13-hour tariff suspension announcement was essentia

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ TSMC reported earnings and maintained its original 20%–30% growth forecast, with robust AI demand. Still, this isn’t enough to reverse the overall weakness in chip stocks—prices are likely to retest previous lows.The largest bearish options position opened on Wednesday was the $NVDA 20250417 65.0 PUT$ , with 45,000 contracts. Not that anyone thinks it's going to $65$—this is more about trading volatility.So there are basically four bearish camps: $100$, $90$, $80$, and sub-$80$. Below $80$, it’s more about playing volatility, while most people see the range as below $100$, above $90$.Chances are, NVDA closes above $100$ this week. But if you’re holding short puts an

On Monday, April 7, legendary investor Duan Yongping decisively bought the dip during intraday trading. His trading list spans multiple pages, with two main strategies: buying stocks outright and selling puts. Duan reportedly invested $400 million in U.S. blue-chip stocks and Tencent.Most of the sell puts he wrote have strike prices near the current stock price, with expiration dates covering every week over the next month. Selling at-the-money puts essentially signals a willingness to take ownership of the stock.So, is selling puts the best way to buy the dip? Let’s analyze: $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Before discussing dip-buying, let’s assess future expectations.Expected Range:After Mond
