Nvidia Options: Bullish Sentiment Prevails, But Watch for Range-Bound Volatility
Nvidia notched a more than 4% gain last Friday, anchored by a prominent bullish options spread worth $16.328 million that stood out as the day’s most representative tilted bullish trade. The trader initiated the structured position by purchasing 10,400 contracts of the 200.0 strike call options expiring on July 10, 2026, while simultaneously selling an equal volume of 205.0 strike call options with the same maturity, establishing the entire position on a net-debit basis.
At the current Nvidia stock price of $210.96, both legs of the spread are now in-the-money (ITM). This pricing dynamic indicates the capital deployed is not targeting leveraged speculative upside in distant maturities, but rather executing a structured bullish allocation within a deep in-the-money range.
In a separate trade, market participants executed a credit spread strategy involving Nvidia’s weekly options maturing on July 17, 2026. The trader sold 9,958 contracts of the 210.0 strike calls and bought the same number of 215.0 strike calls with the identical expiration date, resulting in an overall net-credit position.
Based on the prevailing share price of $210.96, the sold 210.0 strike calls sit near in-the-money territory, while the purchased 215.0 strike calls remain out-of-the-money (OTM). This represents a classic capped upside rent-collecting and mildly bearish options strategy. Rather than betting aggressively on a sharp downside correction, the trade signals a market consensus that Nvidia’s upside momentum is set to be constrained, with limited room for a material breakout above current levels ahead of the option expiry.
Intel Options Traders Bet on Limited Upside Ahead
Intel declined 2.4% last Friday. The day’s largest single-leg trade saw $4.03 million worth of call options sold: 125.0 strike calls expiring August 21, 2026, which are currently out-of-the-money (OTM).
Selling such longer-dated out-of-the-money calls typically signals a distinctly bearish, or at minimum neutral, market view. The trader appears to be betting Intel has limited upside from here, aiming to generate income via options premium. If the stock fails to break meaningfully above the strike price by expiry, the call seller stands to profit handsomely. Accordingly, this large position reflects expectations of muted longer-term upside momentum for Intel shares.
