$TSLA$ Tesla reports earnings after the market closes on Wednesday. Currently, anxiety outweighs expectations. There might be little news on autonomous driving, but 2026 delivery figures may not be very optimistic, likely slightly higher than 2025 deliveries. The expected trading range is between 400 and 465. If the stock price drops after earnings tomorrow, it would be more suitable for selling puts. $MSFT$ Earnings prospects are not particularly optimistic. The focus is on cloud business growth, Copilot monetization, and capital expenditures. The latter two have a probability of being underwhelming. If Microsoft's capex disappoints, it could weigh on other tech and chip stocks. Of course, a pullback also presents an opportunity. The weekly expiry 445 call

$AAPL$ Apple has seen a large bullish call order. The May 15th expiry 285 call $AAPL 20260515 285.0 CALL$  had 69,000 contracts opened, with a total notional value of approximately $34+ million. Although I believe Apple's performance this year may still be weighed down by high memory prices, this doesn't prevent the market and large investors from perceiving a potential bottom. With earnings this week, selling the 250 put is an option: $AAPL 20260130 250.0 PUT$ . $FXI$ Regarding the large bearish China ETF orders, I discovered someone shared my analysis in a group, causing some panic. However, a massive, deep out-of-the-money bearish order like

Major US tech companies reporting earnings this week include Tesla, Microsoft, META, AAPL, and storage giants STX, SNDK, and WDC. Earnings Focus Points: 🚀 Tesla's earnings focus has shifted from short-term financials to long-term tech breakthroughs. Key post-earnings price drivers will be: 1) Substantive progress on frontier tech like Robotaxi deployment without safety drivers; 2) The timeline for FSD to reach "eyes-off" unsupervised versions; 3) Whether 2026 delivery, gross margin, and free cash flow guidance are more pessimistic than market consensus, heightening concerns over near-term profitability and cash burn. 🚀 Microsoft's earnings focus is on whether Azure cloud growth can exceed expectations, the inflection point in Copilot adoption and its impact on Office ARPU, and if concerns

Another week of explosive options action is in the books! 🚀 This week, our community locked in massive wins across Intel, AMD, and Palantir. Let’s dive into the standout trades and see how our members turned market momentum into serious profits. Intel has been front and center in the markets this week, fresh off securing a landmark $151 billion indefinite-delivery contract for the U.S. Department of War’s SHIELD program. Adding to the buzz, Intel is set to report its quarterly earnings after the market closes on January 22 , sending investor sentiment into overdrive. HSBC just hiked its target price from $26 to $50 and upgraded its rating from “Reduce” to “Hold,” while Wedbush analysts believe strong server CPU demand could power a solid quarter. But challenges persist. Rising memory costs

$FXI$ The March 20th expiry 33 put saw a massive purchase of 230,000 contracts over Tuesday and Wednesday. Although the trade price was only around $0.17, the sheer volume resulted in a total notional value exceeding $3 million. The current FXI price is $39. The delta for the 33 strike is only 0.069. Trades at this level are typically bets on a "black swan" event, with notional values in the tens of thousands. Spending millions on this is essentially throwing money away. Therefore, the trader either has genuine insider knowledge of a major impending negative event or holds an enormous long portfolio and needs to hedge against a potential flash crash. In either case, it signals expectations of a significant volatility spike. The profit mechanism for such deep OTM options isn't just the pric

$AAPL$Consumer electronics this year face a major unified issue: memory is too expensive. From computers down to smartphones, any device with storage is affected. Consumers are highly likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach with their cash.It seems consumer electronics stocks might struggle this year, at least in the first half.Of course, the answer to "when to buy the dip" is quite simple: follow the whales. When Duan Yongping says he wants to buy Apple in size, that's probably the time to consider it.There has been significant selling of the 280 calls expiring in February and March $AAPL 20260213 280.0 CALL$ , indicating the market doesn't expect a major Q1 rebound.

$NVDA$Starting next week, NVIDIA will add Monday and Wednesday weekly expirations. These new intra-week options are perfect for premium sellers to "farm theta." We'll examine them more closely once they launch.NVIDIA stands at another crossroads. Bearish option activity shows significant divergence regarding downside expectations, reminiscent of early last year. Puts in the 170-180 range can be interpreted as bullish positioning, expecting NVDA to consolidate above 170, betting on continued AI industry expansion—specifically GPU capacity.The bears targeting levels below 170, even halving the price, have various reasons.

Hello everyone. Today, I'd like to use the Ctrip stock crash incident to discuss managing short put positions.What Happened:💡 Cause: On January 14th, based on China's Anti-Monopoly Law, the State Administration for Market Regulation formally launched an investigation into Ctrip for suspected abuse of market dominance.💡 Impact on Stock Price: Ctrip's US-listed stock (Ticker: TCOM) closed at $75.68 on January 13th and plummeted 17% to close at $62.78 on January 14th.

$SPY$Pressure on the broad market remains significant ahead of the January 16th monthly options expiration, exerting a dampening effect across various sectors. Overall, the outlook remains bullish after this week. However, this week SPY is likely to pull back towards 680, probably closing within the 680-690 range.Notably, during Tuesday's session, someone opened a large position buying 20,000 contracts of the January 23rd expiry VXX 30.5 call $VXX 20260123 30.5 CALL$ , with a notional value of approximately $700,000.
