Which Will Break the Round Number First: AMD or Tesla?
It has recently stabilized within the range of 190-220. Very stable, just harvest the premium. The blue sections indicate institutional spread strategy option openings. Both call and put spreads have escalated a level compared to strategies from the week before last.
For sell calls, reference strike 215 $NVDA 20251107 215.0 CALL$ . For sell puts, reference strike 195 $NVDA 20251107 195.0 PUT$ .
Earnings this week are expected to beat expectations. The institutional strategy's expected strike price range is very wide, 260 $AMD 20260116 260.0 CALL$ to 295 $AMD 20260116 295.0 CALL$ , not reaching 300.
Call spreads are concentrated around 272.5, 275-295: $AMD 20260116 275.0 CALL$ $AMD 20260116 295.0 CALL$ . Currently, it appears the stock price might be below 280 after earnings.
But good earnings don't necessarily mean the stock price will rise. However, for sell puts, one can boldly select 240 $AMD 20251107 240.0 PUT$ , because there is an Analyst Day on the 11th.
Like AMD, it faces potentially breaking a round number level. This week's main call spread involves selling 470 $TSLA 20251107 470.0 CALL$ and hedging by buying 495 $TSLA 20251107 495.0 CALL$ .
It's highly likely to be in a sideways trend this week. Institutions are selling calls $INTC 20251107 41.5 CALL$ and buying calls $INTC 20251107 44.0 CALL$ .
Additionally, many long-term out-of-the-money calls have been opened, with a bias towards selling.
For put selling, reference $INTC 20251107 38.0 PUT$ .
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$
Although there are long-term options being opened daily $PLTR 20280121 310.0 CALL$ , this earnings report might be somewhat problematic, with a gain of less than 5% or even a potential drop.
Firstly, this week's call spreads are priced very low, expecting the stock price to be below 212.5 $PLTR 20251107 212.5 CALL$ , hedged with 225 $PLTR 20251107 225.0 CALL$ .
Long-term puts are being opened $PLTR 20251219 180.0 PUT$ , the intent could be for speculation or hedging.
Of course, a drop would also be a buying opportunity.
Long calls have been rolled from November 190 to February 260 $GOOGL 20260220 260.0 CALL$ , a relatively conservative strike selection.
However, the long-term view remains bullish. More aggressive bulls have opened March 480 calls $GOOGL 20260320 480.0 CALL$ .
For sell puts, consider 270 $GOOGL 20251107 270.0 PUT$ .
Last week, institutions selected a range of 112-130.
This week's range: $CRWV 20251107 144.0 CALL$ $CRWV 20251107 124.0 PUT$ $CRWV 20251107 112.0 PUT$ . This suggests trading between 124-144, with a potential test of 112.
