Trading Strategies: .SPX, NBIS& MU

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you! 1 $Micron Technology(MU)$ Trade Idea: Aug 7th 900C Trigger: 776 ✅ Targets: 850, 900 🎯 Stop: 750 🛑 MU dropped to 737 at the lows last week and rallied up to 930 on Friday. MU ended up dropping 100+ points from the highs last Friday. If MU can hold a higher low above 776 we should see a push back to 900, 956 again. SNDK reports their earnings on August 5th so we can see another big move again in memory stocks. 2 $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ Trade Idea: Aug 28 200C Trigger: 170 ✅ Targets: 190, 200 🎯 Stop: 160 🛑 NBIS dropped from 299 to 145 the past 7 weeks. NBIS bounced from 145 to 204 the past 3 days. If NBIS can print a

Trading Strategies: SPCX& AMD

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1 The fact that $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ price is this high and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ price is not is just disgustingly disrespectful to NVDA! Gonna write puts on AMD, Aug 21 expiry, put strike at 300 or lower. There is no strong volume support levels until AMD gets down into the 260 to 190 range. 2 No one knows where bottom support is on $SpaceX(SPCX)$ since it just IPOed and price discovery has to happen to find downside support. We may see that happen this week for earnings ... who knows. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Currently got a 105/90 put credit spread in play and am

The Team Can Lose, But SPY Must Not Fall

"Stock God" Leopold was margin-called and forced to transfer his holdings — Citadel Securities swooped in and picked them up at a bargain price. The very next day, the market rebounded sharply with a massive surge. There's something worth reminding everyone about: Citadel Securities acquired Morgan Stanley's options market-making business in 2025 and is likely the largest options market maker in the market today. As we all know, options liquidity is provided by market makers, so Leopold's large block buy orders were essentially visible chips in the eyes of the market makers. This reminds me of the old saying — "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." The large block trades I've been tracking might just be fat lambs waiting to be sheared in the eyes of the market makers

$TVIX$ $UVIX$ $DECP$  By Lawrence G. McMillan   Despite one downward probe on July 29th, $SPX has managed to trade in a range and close at almost the same price every day. Near- term resistance is at 7430. After that failure on the 29th, the market bounced off the 7300 level with a vengeance the next day, so that is support. Even so, if one looks at the chart of $SPX in Figure 1, it is obvious that there is a new downtrend line that can be drawn, connecting the failed rally attempts that took place during July. There is support at 7300 and then 7240, with potential further support near the rising 200-day moving average in the 7100 area (that a

TRADE PLAN for FOMC Wednesday 📈

There's 2 levels to watch for $S&P 500(.SPX)$ the next 3 days. 1. Above 7500 = Bullish 2. Under 7400 = Bearish 3. Between 7400-7500= More chop. If you find yourself taking 50 trades a week with SPX stuck between 7400-7500, You need to size down and stop trading. Wait for the momentum first. There's a chance they raise rates tomorrow. If that happens, SPX to 7000 can come fast. We need to see Memory stocks and Chip stocks catch a bid and bottom out before going long again. Be patient and stay on your toes tomorrow. It's going to be a volatile one. Good luck everyone!! 🫡

100,000 Doomsday Calls on Software—Could Microsoft Spring a Surprise!?

The biggest difference between this week and last: negative sentiment toward memory chips is finally spreading widely. Last week was "buy the dip with full confidence"; but after CXMT's listing Monday, plus news of mass-produced Chinese DUV, fears of surging supply crushed an already fragile uptrend. For some names, a monthly pullback has turned into a quarterly one, and panic is fully setting in. Yet Tuesday's semiconductor crash didn't drag the broad market down—which, to me, isn't a good sign. Last week someone traded 70,000 contracts of the Aug 19 29 call$VIX 20260819 29.0 CALL$  . If the market won't correct even now, what is this VIX call betting on? Surely not a rate hike at Wednesday's FOMC?

SK Hynix Earnings Options Strategy: Long-Term Narrative Strengthens, But Near-Term Sentiment Has Col

I. Fundamentals: Long-Term Visibility Improves, Valuation Attractive SK Hynix is signing more amended long-term agreements with hyperscale data center customers, covering both DDR5 and NAND. Contract terms exceed five years, with approximately 60–70% of expected volume/pricing already locked in, significantly boosting future earnings visibility — this serves as micro-level confirmation of the large-capex-backed memory storage thesis. This earnings report is expected to deliver unprecedented operating profit exceeding 100 trillion won. Yet, with such strong expectations, the stock has still plunged dramatically, indicating that near-term market sentiment has completely broken down. II. Volatility Estimates and Scenarios Monday's pre-market reference price was 154.57, with implied movement o

The World's Most Famous Bear is Calling for Another Selloff

The world's most famous bear is calling for another selloff $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is down nearly 40% from ATHs and Michael Burry still hasn't fully closed his short position, but the stock hasn't made a new low in 8 months After an almost 50% pullback from ATHs at 208 to 106, $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is right back near its key 140 level after defending the buy zone at 117. If $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ manages to break past 140, it can retest 166 and 200 after that, which means Burry will get squeezed out on the way up. If upcoming earnings go poorly, Burry gets paid if

Software Props Up Half the Market

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ A week of major pullback. SPY target remains the same as last week — looking at 710–720. Speaking of which, here's something interesting: software ETF saw a massive bullish (expiration-day) call order last Friday. This week's 88 call $IGV 20260731 88.0 CALL$ opened 100,000 contracts — that's $20 million spent on weekly options. And it actually rose on Monday. So can we chase IGV? Naturally, no. Currently, semiconductors and software are seesawing — the reason is that sentiment has temporarily shifted toward the software sector, which has richer cash flows. Notably, IGV's top holding is Microsoft. There is broad consensus that this week's earnings wil

📊 Noteworthy Points Market Main Theme: Capex Concerns Have Not Yet Been Fully Priced In The AI narrative is still present, but the market has begun to question the monetization ability of massive capex, putting pressure on valuations. The widespread decline following last week's earnings reports from several tech giants suggests that the valuation-killing logic of "full expectations + capex concerns" has not yet run its course. Earnings from similar tech stocks this week (META, MSFT, AAPL, AMZN) are likely to remain under pressure, with the prevailing direction still leaning toward Sell Call. Watch Whether Post-Earnings Pullback Stocks Break Below Forecast Ranges Tesla, Google, and INTC have already dropped significantly after earnings (TSLA 380→313, GOOGL 352→320, INTC 105→92).

$DECU$ $QQQY$ $XDTE$  By Lawrence G. McMillan The market has been frustrating to many over the past two months since new all-time highs were made in early June. Bulls expected another attempt at new highs by now, while bears expected a larger correction (given the uncertainties of Iran, interest rates, etc.). But the fact is, $SPX has remained in a trading range over that time. There is currently resistance at 7580 (July's highs) and then at the all-time highs in the 7600-7620 area. Support was broken slightly yesterday, as $SPX probed downward, but there is support at 7300 or slightly above that level, with further support at the July lows near 72

SK Hynix Range-Bound Strategy: Annualized Yield Reaches 103%!

$SK hynix(SKHY)$ In the current range-bound market, U.S.-listed SK Hynix has a key weapon that the Hong Kong-listed 7709 $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ lacks: options! The Hong Kong ticker can only trade the underlying stock for price differences, while U.S.-listed SKHY allows you to Sell Puts during high volatility, turning range-bound movement directly into cash flow. Indeed, we've seen many large Sell Put orders over the past two days. Why is now particularly suitable for Selling Puts? SK Hynix reports earnings on 7/29, and pre-earnings IV has been pushed very high, making premiums especially rich. In addition, while the memory sector may not rally much in the short term, its long
