tg-height=\"2277\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta</a></strong> <strong>closed at USD 741.25 with a change of +11.43%.</strong></p><p>Heavy options activity accompanied the rally, with two large trades dominating the tape: a $10.84 million out-of-the-money put sale and a $7.53 million net-credit call spread combination. Both structures lean bullish and center on premium collection, suggesting large traders are selling elevated volatility rather than chasing upside through outright call buying. The flow indicates confidence in downside support and a preference for defined, controlled exposure over unbounded directional bets.</p><p>A put sale worth $10.84 million stood out as one of the day’s largest single-leg trades, with 5,161 contracts sold at the 680.00 strike expiring on 2026-10-30. With META referenced at $749.44, this put was out of the money at execution, making the trade structurally bullish: the seller is expressing confidence that the shares can remain above $680.00 into expiration while collecting premium. Strategically, this is consistent with either income generation on a moderately bullish view or willingness to accumulate stock at an effective lower entry level if assigned.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261030%20680.0%20PUT\" title=\"META 20261030 680.0 PUT\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261030 680.0 PUT</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/82867785a1890d952f8f5734dfa0b95e\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"382\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p>A call spread-style combination with a net credit of $7.53 million was another major featured trade, built with short 710.00 calls, long 765.00 calls, and short 820.00 calls, all expiring on 2026-10-16. This is a call combination that mixes both sold and bought calls, so it should be read as a spread structure rather than a simple outright bullish call purchase. The trader sold the in-the-money 710.00 calls, bought the out-of-the-money 765.00 calls, and sold the out-of-the-money 820.00 calls, establishing a net-credit position that points to premium collection with a defined directional view. Given the short lower strike, long middle strike, and short higher strike construction, the positioning suggests a more nuanced outlook than pure upside chasing, likely seeking to monetize time value while targeting a specific price zone rather than an unrestricted rally.</p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20710.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 710.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 710.0 CALL</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20765.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 765.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 765.0 CALL</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20820.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 820.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 820.0 CALL</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e267a56f752d7de37c86d95a2ce5e25a\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"1101\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p>Overall, the large-trade flow points to a clearly bullish institutional bias in META. The dominant tone comes from sizable premium-selling activity on out-of-the-money puts and additional bullish-leaning structures across the broader bulk-order set, indicating traders are generally comfortable underwriting downside and positioning for stability to further upside. Even though there were some bearish elements and complex call overwriting structures, the balance of large-money activity suggests market participants remain constructive on the stock, with sentiment favoring controlled upside or resilient price action rather than a sharp downside move.</p><h2 id=\"id_2586644671\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Unusual Options Activity</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a></strong> <strong>closed at $121.78, up 12.14%.</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Options flow in INTC showed a strongly directional bullish skew, led by a $4.16 million out-of-the-money call purchase at the $145 strike expiring October 30, 2026. A separate synthetic long combination also drew attention, using a short put to finance a long call position for a net credit. The dominant activity pointed to institutional expectations for continued upside rather than hedging or defensive positioning.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A synthetic call structure with a $0.37 million net credit stood out as one of the day’s featured large combinations, pairing the sale of 13,140 contracts of the September 25, 2026 $110.0 put with the purchase of 4,488 contracts of the September 25, 2026 $135.0 call. With INTC referenced at $121.78, the short $110.0 put was out of the money and the long $135.0 call was also out of the money, creating a bullish synthetic long exposure that benefits from upside participation while taking on downside assignment risk below $110. The fact that the position was established for a net credit reinforces a constructive outlook, as the trader was willing to finance upside exposure through put premium collection rather than pay outright for calls alone.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020260925%20135.0%20CALL\" title=\"INTC 20260925 135.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20260925 135.0 CALL</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020260925%20110.0%20PUT\" title=\"INTC 20260925 110.0 PUT\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20260925 110.0 PUT</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/07460797a6be1d2f099f4d85d1e00b89\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"749\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A call buy worth $4.16 million was the single largest displayed outright trade, consisting of 7,500 contracts of the October 30, 2026 $145.0 call purchased on a bullish view. Since the $145.0 strike sits above the $121.78 reference price, this was an out-of-the-money call purchase that represents a directional upside bet on a meaningful advance over the coming year. Taken together, the large-trade flow points to a clearly bullish institutional tone in INTC: the biggest outright premium outlay targeted upside calls, while the notable combination trade also expressed a synthetic long stance. Although there were some call-selling and put-buying trades elsewhere in the broader tape, the dominant capital commitment favored upside exposure, suggesting expectations for further appreciation rather than defensive positioning.</p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020261030%20145.0%20CALL\" title=\"INTC 20261030 145.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20261030 145.0 CALL</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cc1649cb4e20305582599688b8c7988b\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"395\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https://www.itiger.com/sg/marketing/SG-options-new-client?lang=en_US\" title=\"Start OPTIONS trading &amp;

That could turn the market&#39;s attention from the dominant technology sector which has been driving gains on optimism over AI-related profits.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The announcement could calm concerns about energy-led inflation hurting economic growth. U.S. crude prices hit a three-month low on Monday after the deal, which included reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil supply route, while the S&amp;P 500 shot 1.7% higher, putting it less than 1% below its all time peak from early this month.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;Easing in geopolitical tensions could alleviate some of the inflation pressures and reduce bond yields,&#34; said Angelo Kourkafas, senior global investment strategist at Edward Jones. &#34;That can be the catalyst driving that rotation into cyclical sectors and areas that have lagged.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As lower oil prices reduce gas costs for consumers, retail stocks such as Home Depot HD.N, Target TGT.N and Macy&#39;s M.N could benefit, said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth Management. The S&amp;P 500 consumer discretionary sector .SPLRCD closed up 1.9%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 .RUT gained 0.7%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;The end of the war could help fuel the belief that consumers will have discretionary money to spend somewhere else,&#34; Pavlik said.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Strategists at BCA Research said on Monday they were initiating a &#34;tactical long&#34; position in the consumer discretionary sector &#34;on easing geopolitical tensions and oil-price relief.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Investors may be looking for relative bargains in a market that has been dominated by tech. Since the war began in late February, the S&amp;P 500 tech sector .SPLRCT is up 28% against a 10% rise for the broader index .SPX.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Still, Pavlik and others said investors may be reluctant to move from tech stocks, while they are performing well. Indeed, on Monday, tech was the best-performing sector, rising more than 3%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;A sustained ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, combined with easing oil prices, could help the rally broaden beyond AI and tech,&#34; said Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise, adding that on Monday, &#34;investors appear most interested in bidding up established winners.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>BROADENING IN THE SECOND HALF?</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For now, a number of market strategists are expecting an expansion of equity strength.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">JPMorgan equity strategists said on Monday they were looking for broadening in the second half of the year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;If our positive macro view plays out - underpinned by strong earnings, stable inflation expectations, and an easing of geopolitical risks in the second half - cyclicals should remain well positioned to outperform through year-end,&#34; the JPMorgan strategists said in a research note.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSPQL\">Morgan Stanley</a> equity strategists see &#34;relative strength&#34; ahead for consumer discretionary goods, transport and regional bank stocks, where earnings trends are improving.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;A broadening to under-owned cyclical groups is underway,&#34; <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSPQV\">Morgan Stanley</a> said in a note on Monday.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The end to the Iran conflict could be relatively better for other regional markets whose countries have been seen as more vulnerable than the U.S. to the spike in oil prices.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;While recent shocks have reinforced U.S. resilience, the de‑escalation in energy, with oil near about $80, could act as a catalyst for catch‑up flows into ex‑U.S. markets,&#34; Manish Kabra, equity strategist at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCGLF\">Societe Generale</a>, said in a note on Monday.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>RATE CUTS NEEDED FOR BROADENING?</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some investors say other factors may be needed to help the market broaden. That includes the outlook for interest rates; markets have flipped from pricing in rate cuts at the start of the year, to factoring in a potential hike, as inflation climbed following the energy price spikes.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady at its meeting this week.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;When you think about whether the rest of the market will outperform the AI story, I think for that, you may have to see rate cuts being priced in,&#34; said Sonu Varghese, global macro strategist at Carson Group.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Paul Nolte, senior wealth advisor and market strategist at Murphy &amp; Sylvest Wealth Management, who has positions in financial and healthcare stocks, said tech may need to falter for other areas to take the lead.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;Where you&#39;re going to get a boost in the rest of the market is from a stumble in the tech sector, in the AI trade,&#34; Nolte said. &#34;Tech has really just kind of sucked all the oxygen out of the room to this point to where it&#39;s difficult for any other part of the market to do well.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Both structures lean bullish and center on premium collection, suggesting large traders are selling elevated volatility rather than chasing upside through outright call buying. The flow indicates confidence in downside support and a preference for defined, controlled exposure over unbounded directional bets.</p><p>A put sale worth $10.84 million stood out as one of the day’s largest single-leg trades, with 5,161 contracts sold at the 680.00 strike expiring on 2026-10-30. With META referenced at $749.44, this put was out of the money at execution, making the trade structurally bullish: the seller is expressing confidence that the shares can remain above $680.00 into expiration while collecting premium. Strategically, this is consistent with either income generation on a moderately bullish view or willingness to accumulate stock at an effective lower entry level if assigned.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261030%20680.0%20PUT\" title=\"META 20261030 680.0 PUT\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261030 680.0 PUT</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/82867785a1890d952f8f5734dfa0b95e\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"382\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p>A call spread-style combination with a net credit of $7.53 million was another major featured trade, built with short 710.00 calls, long 765.00 calls, and short 820.00 calls, all expiring on 2026-10-16. This is a call combination that mixes both sold and bought calls, so it should be read as a spread structure rather than a simple outright bullish call purchase. The trader sold the in-the-money 710.00 calls, bought the out-of-the-money 765.00 calls, and sold the out-of-the-money 820.00 calls, establishing a net-credit position that points to premium collection with a defined directional view. Given the short lower strike, long middle strike, and short higher strike construction, the positioning suggests a more nuanced outlook than pure upside chasing, likely seeking to monetize time value while targeting a specific price zone rather than an unrestricted rally.</p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20710.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 710.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 710.0 CALL</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20765.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 765.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 765.0 CALL</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/META%2020261016%20820.0%20CALL\" title=\"META 20261016 820.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">META 20261016 820.0 CALL</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e267a56f752d7de37c86d95a2ce5e25a\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"1101\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p>Overall, the large-trade flow points to a clearly bullish institutional bias in META. The dominant tone comes from sizable premium-selling activity on out-of-the-money puts and additional bullish-leaning structures across the broader bulk-order set, indicating traders are generally comfortable underwriting downside and positioning for stability to further upside. Even though there were some bearish elements and complex call overwriting structures, the balance of large-money activity suggests market participants remain constructive on the stock, with sentiment favoring controlled upside or resilient price action rather than a sharp downside move.</p><h2 id=\"id_2586644671\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Unusual Options Activity</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a></strong> <strong>closed at $121.78, up 12.14%.</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Options flow in INTC showed a strongly directional bullish skew, led by a $4.16 million out-of-the-money call purchase at the $145 strike expiring October 30, 2026. A separate synthetic long combination also drew attention, using a short put to finance a long call position for a net credit. The dominant activity pointed to institutional expectations for continued upside rather than hedging or defensive positioning.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A synthetic call structure with a $0.37 million net credit stood out as one of the day’s featured large combinations, pairing the sale of 13,140 contracts of the September 25, 2026 $110.0 put with the purchase of 4,488 contracts of the September 25, 2026 $135.0 call. With INTC referenced at $121.78, the short $110.0 put was out of the money and the long $135.0 call was also out of the money, creating a bullish synthetic long exposure that benefits from upside participation while taking on downside assignment risk below $110. The fact that the position was established for a net credit reinforces a constructive outlook, as the trader was willing to finance upside exposure through put premium collection rather than pay outright for calls alone.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020260925%20135.0%20CALL\" title=\"INTC 20260925 135.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20260925 135.0 CALL</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020260925%20110.0%20PUT\" title=\"INTC 20260925 110.0 PUT\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20260925 110.0 PUT</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/07460797a6be1d2f099f4d85d1e00b89\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"749\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A call buy worth $4.16 million was the single largest displayed outright trade, consisting of 7,500 contracts of the October 30, 2026 $145.0 call purchased on a bullish view. Since the $145.0 strike sits above the $121.78 reference price, this was an out-of-the-money call purchase that represents a directional upside bet on a meaningful advance over the coming year. Taken together, the large-trade flow points to a clearly bullish institutional tone in INTC: the biggest outright premium outlay targeted upside calls, while the notable combination trade also expressed a synthetic long stance. Although there were some call-selling and put-buying trades elsewhere in the broader tape, the dominant capital commitment favored upside exposure, suggesting expectations for further appreciation rather than defensive positioning.</p><p><a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/INTC%2020261030%20145.0%20CALL\" title=\"INTC 20261030 145.0 CALL\" target=\"_blank\">INTC 20261030 145.0 CALL</a></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cc1649cb4e20305582599688b8c7988b\" alt=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" title=\"Source: Tiger Trade APP\" tg-width=\"1179\" tg-height=\"395\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade APP</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https://www.itiger.com/sg/marketing/SG-options-new-client?lang=en_US\" title=\"Start OPTIONS trading &amp;

That could turn the market&#39;s attention from the dominant technology sector which has been driving gains on optimism over AI-related profits.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The announcement could calm concerns about energy-led inflation hurting economic growth. U.S. crude prices hit a three-month low on Monday after the deal, which included reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil supply route, while the S&amp;P 500 shot 1.7% higher, putting it less than 1% below its all time peak from early this month.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;Easing in geopolitical tensions could alleviate some of the inflation pressures and reduce bond yields,&#34; said Angelo Kourkafas, senior global investment strategist at Edward Jones. &#34;That can be the catalyst driving that rotation into cyclical sectors and areas that have lagged.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As lower oil prices reduce gas costs for consumers, retail stocks such as Home Depot HD.N, Target TGT.N and Macy&#39;s M.N could benefit, said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth Management. The S&amp;P 500 consumer discretionary sector .SPLRCD closed up 1.9%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 .RUT gained 0.7%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;The end of the war could help fuel the belief that consumers will have discretionary money to spend somewhere else,&#34; Pavlik said.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Strategists at BCA Research said on Monday they were initiating a &#34;tactical long&#34; position in the consumer discretionary sector &#34;on easing geopolitical tensions and oil-price relief.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Investors may be looking for relative bargains in a market that has been dominated by tech. Since the war began in late February, the S&amp;P 500 tech sector .SPLRCT is up 28% against a 10% rise for the broader index .SPX.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Still, Pavlik and others said investors may be reluctant to move from tech stocks, while they are performing well. Indeed, on Monday, tech was the best-performing sector, rising more than 3%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;A sustained ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, combined with easing oil prices, could help the rally broaden beyond AI and tech,&#34; said Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise, adding that on Monday, &#34;investors appear most interested in bidding up established winners.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>BROADENING IN THE SECOND HALF?</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For now, a number of market strategists are expecting an expansion of equity strength.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">JPMorgan equity strategists said on Monday they were looking for broadening in the second half of the year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;If our positive macro view plays out - underpinned by strong earnings, stable inflation expectations, and an easing of geopolitical risks in the second half - cyclicals should remain well positioned to outperform through year-end,&#34; the JPMorgan strategists said in a research note.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSPQL\">Morgan Stanley</a> equity strategists see &#34;relative strength&#34; ahead for consumer discretionary goods, transport and regional bank stocks, where earnings trends are improving.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;A broadening to under-owned cyclical groups is underway,&#34; <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSPQV\">Morgan Stanley</a> said in a note on Monday.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The end to the Iran conflict could be relatively better for other regional markets whose countries have been seen as more vulnerable than the U.S. to the spike in oil prices.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;While recent shocks have reinforced U.S. resilience, the de‑escalation in energy, with oil near about $80, could act as a catalyst for catch‑up flows into ex‑U.S. markets,&#34; Manish Kabra, equity strategist at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCGLF\">Societe Generale</a>, said in a note on Monday.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>RATE CUTS NEEDED FOR BROADENING?</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some investors say other factors may be needed to help the market broaden. That includes the outlook for interest rates; markets have flipped from pricing in rate cuts at the start of the year, to factoring in a potential hike, as inflation climbed following the energy price spikes.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady at its meeting this week.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;When you think about whether the rest of the market will outperform the AI story, I think for that, you may have to see rate cuts being priced in,&#34;
