Nvidia Nears $6 Trillion Valuation as Options Market Prices Month-End Milestone

Nvidia shares recently hit a new all-time high, pushing the company's market capitalization to nearly $5.7 trillion. This rally ended a seven-week sideways trading period and was driven by strong artificial intelligence demand and a record $150 billion buyback expansion. Options markets indicate a 50% probability that Nvidia will cross the $6 trillion threshold by the end of October, with a 67% chance by mid-December. The move has lifted the Nasdaq-100 to record levels, though broader market participation remains narrow.

Nvidia Eyes $10 Trillion Valuation by 2028 as AI Demand Sustains Record Run

Nvidia is approaching a $6 trillion market capitalization, with options traders assigning a 67% probability of reaching that milestone by mid-December. While the immediate focus is on breaking the $6 trillion barrier, some analysts project the chipmaker could reach a $10 trillion valuation by the end of 2028. The recent rally, which ended a seven-week sideways trend, was driven by strong artificial intelligence demand and positive financial results from key supplier Foxconn. Nvidia now accounts for 13% of the Nasdaq-100 and 8% of the S&P 500, reflecting its dominant position in the AI sector.

Micron Earnings Set to Test AI Memory Rally as Options Traders Bet on Bullish Break

Micron Technology is set to report fiscal Q4 earnings on September 30, 2026, with options markets pricing a 7% move, slightly below its four-quarter average. Despite a recent 560% rally, traders are positioning bullish, with call activity outpacing puts. Analysts expect revenue to surge 349% and EPS to jump 938% year-over-year, driven by tight memory supply and strong AI demand. However, rising bond yields pose a risk to the broader AI trade.

Situational Awareness eyes a comeback with fresh option bets on AI-related stocks

Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness has been buying new option positions in AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, SK Hynix, and Sandisk, plus the Roundhill Memory ETF, signaling a comeback bet after a summer when the fund almost failed from AI-stock leverage and margin calls that forced asset sales to Citadel. The 13F showed Sandisk and Micron as large disclosed holdings, and regulators including the SEC have subpoenaed major banks over dealings with the fund, though no wrongdoing is alleged. The firm remains active, including a $400 million private investment after the near-collapse.

Apple Becomes Nasdaq Hedge as Correlation Slumps to 20-Year Low

Apple stock rose 2.6% amid a tech rout as the company again acts as the Nasdaq’s hedge, with its 30‑day correlation to the Nasdaq‑100 sliding to about -0.82—the most inverted in two decades—while Apple outperformed the index: up ~7% in the last month and ~20% year-to-date versus a ~1% monthly and ~15% YTD gain for the Nasdaq. Heavy options activity, with roughly 1.5 million calls traded against 700k puts and bullish net delta positioning, signals traders expect the strength to persist even as AI concerns keep weighing on tech names.

SpaceX loses more than $1.2 trillion in market value, rivaling Tesla

SpaceX has wiped out about $1.2 trillion of market value since its June peak, roughly matching Tesla’s value as the stock slides. Traders have mixed bets via options while ahead of SpaceX’s first post‑IPO earnings and a looming lock-up that could allow up to 911.5 million shares to be sold on Aug. 6, potentially adding volatility.

Profit-catching Tesla trade pivots to Palantir hedges

A trader who bet against Tesla after its earnings warns of two paths: book the gains from the TSLA short put spread or press with “house money” by targeting a Palantir play ahead of PLTR earnings. The suggested move is to close the August 360/330 TSLA put spread for about $23, then, if they press, buy the Palantir August 21st 120/95 put spread for roughly $6.50 (funded by the TSLA proceeds). This defines risk to the debit paid and could yield about $18.50 max profit per spread if PLTR ends below 95 at expiration. The Palantir setup hinges on growth challenges, LLM competition, and high valuation, which traders see as potential triggers for volatility around August earnings.

Textron quietly positions as a low-risk aerospace bet amid SpaceX hype

Textron (TXT) is highlighted as a stealthy aerospace/defense play with a solid first quarter beat, a shift toward pure defense backed by a $19B backlog, and a forward earnings multiple around 13.7x (below its 5-year average of 18x). With macro headwinds weighing on broader aviation, the stock trades at a discount even as defense demand persists, suggesting upside as the market re-rates. The piece advocates a defined-risk bullish approach via a Sep 95/110 call spread for about $4.65 to capture upside without owning the stock.

Bitcoin's pullback sparks bold options bets on Strategy and Coinbase

Bitcoin rebounded above $60,000 after a sharp 2026 decline but is down about 27% on the year and roughly half from its all-time high. Despite the drop, crypto-related stocks drew heavy options activity, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF among the most traded tickers. Two notable trades aimed to profit from differing outlooks: one trader sold 125/180 call diagonals on Strategy to benefit if the stock stays below $125, and another placed a bullish diagonal on Coinbase by selling near-term calls and buying longer-dated calls, targeting a move above roughly $183 by August. The moves show a mix of bearish and bullish bets as investors weigh a potential rebound against ongoing crypto volatility, while bitcoin is viewed by some as resilient money.

Software Rally Sparks Bold Options Bets as IGV Advances

The software stock rally continues, with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF (IGV) up about 35% from April lows after Friday’s gains led by ServiceNow and Workday. Options activity is extremely bullish: IGV calls outrun puts by roughly 4-to-1, with more than 50,000 IGV calls traded and even higher volumes in individual software names, signaling strong upside bets despite some hedging. Traders compare IGV’s strength to semiconductor dispersion and expect mean reversion to persist, noting notable options contracts like the June 18 105 strike and December 90 strike as part of outsized bets.
