      Is Apple a Buy-the-Dip Candidate?

      $AAPL$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.

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.

While selling deep out-of-the-money to capture time value, it shows extreme caution.I've observed something different in bullish openings this year. Sequential, sizeable single-leg openings are occurring in expiring week options, seemingly betting with market makers on the possibility of an extreme short squeeze. However, I expect this week to mirror last week—all these positions will likely expire worthless, with the stock price closing between 170 and 180.That said, I don't believe NVIDIA won't rise.

      $NVDA$This Friday, January 16th, is the monthly options expiration, with a massive number of contracts expiring. Following the principle of "pinning to max pain" based on the largest open interest concentrations for calls and puts, NVIDIA's stock price is expected to gravitate towards a pullback, currently targeting around 170.Institutions' arbitrage strategy this week involves selling the 188 call $NVDA 20260116 188.0 CALL$  and hedging by buying the 193 call $NVDA 20260116 193.0 CALL$ .The lowest expected pullback price is seen around 150.

      Option Strategies: TSM

      Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you!Debating taking profit on the $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ 240P and 250P, and then swapping for a higher strike around the 300-310 gap and less contracts, keeping the same expiration. 🤔Ended up writing naked calls on the 375 strike. Those should be fine and can be closed out for profit or let expire worthless.For SG users only, Welcome to open a CBA today and enjoy access to a trading limit of up to SGD 20,000 with unlimited trading on SG, HK, and US stocks, as well as ETFs.🎉Cash Boost Account Now Supports 35,000+ Stocks & ETFs – Greater Flexibility NowFind out more here.Complete your first

      East Rising, West Falling?

      $NVDA$This Friday, January 16th, is the monthly options expiration, with a massive number of contracts expiring. Following the principle of "pinning to max pain" based on the largest open interest concentrations for calls and puts, NVIDIA's stock price is expected to gravitate towards a pullback, currently targeting around 170.Institutions' arbitrage strategy this week involves selling the 188 call $NVDA 20260116 188.0 CALL$  and hedging by buying the 193 call $NVDA 20260116 193.0 CALL$ .The lowest expected pullback price is seen around 150. I've considered this; it might be due to DeepSeek potentially releasing its V4 version around the Chinese New Ye

      Q1: Don't Overcomplicate Things

      $GOOGL$The past two months have been a consolidation phase. Trading in this environment can be tricky, but seeing this large order might clarify things:Sell Put 310 $GOOGL 20260220 310.0 PUT$ , 9,684 contracts opened.Sell Put 310 $GOOGL 20260206 310.0 PUT$ , 10,000 contracts opened.The message is: don't overcomplicate. Sell puts on dips; don't chase rallies. If you accidentally sell puts at a high level, don't panic and close for a loss immediately. Consider whether you're willing to take assignment—the price might rebound after you do.$NVDA$Institutions' primary bullish spread strategy for shorting is focused on the 192.5–197.5 range

      Triple Witching? More Like Minor Triple Witch

      $SPY$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 $700,000. The timing of the order was exceptionally precise.$NVDA$I'm now convinced that the volatility during the January monthly options expiration week is more unpredictable than during a regular triple witching week

      Bullish on TSMC Earnings

      $NVDA$A large block trade sold the 220 call $NVDA 20260220 220.0 CALL$ , opening 39,000 contracts. The expiry date chosen is one week before earnings. While selling deep out-of-the-money to capture time value, it shows extreme caution.I've observed something different in bullish openings this year. Sequential, sizeable single-leg openings are occurring in expiring week options, seemingly betting with market makers on the possibility of an extreme short squeeze. However, I expect this week to mirror last week—all these positions will likely expire worthless, with the stock price closing between 170 and 180.That said, I don't believe NVIDIA won't rise. The current US market resembles the A-share market, both experiencing r
