    In the latest US stock options market, the majors are closing in on trading $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$$Tesla(TSLA.US)$$SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$$Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)$ Besides, What Is Trading Again? From the point of view of the volume of trade, $Palantir(PLTR.US)$$Intel(INTC.US)$ Counting is the hottest symbol of the near future.

    Today, we're going to play around with the options for these two hot symbols and help you get up and running in a straight white way.

    Palantir

    1. Options number: Anxiety is relieved, but more space is larger

    $Palantir(PLTR.US)$ The IV has fallen after a rapid rise in the previous week and is currently below historic lows. This describes the possible decrease in short-term dramatic fluctuations in the market's expected share price, which may enter the stage of normalization. At this time, the option price is either affordable, or suitable for a Buy strategy. Please note that if stock price movements or significant events occur again, IVs can quickly reverse and affect options prices.

    The Security/Purchase Volume Ratio has increased rapidly in the coming days, with a market value of 0.72 at the time of the August 27 stock market close. A rapid rise in the future may reflect the risk of falling or seeing the feeling of emptiness, while the rapid descent may be a slight easing of the anxiety and short-term uplift.

    The Consolidation/Purchase Hold Positions ratio has risen to near 1 level, indicating that the market's margin against the aftermarket is larger and can be predicted in anticipation of a choice in the current direction of the stock market.

    Looking at the big L movement of options over the next 10 days, seeing more empty sentiment, and looking at moving, seeing more empty sentiment, and the trading trend of a Put that has the right to put seems to be very lively. The near-term PUT option price is more in the $120-140 Range, the longer-term PUT option price is more in the $95-110 range. Short-term downside space may be limited, and the medium-term adjustment depth may be greater.

    2. Find the answer in the fundamentals: the results exceeded expectations, but the high valuation worries the market

    The options signal above actually reflects a certain market volatility. Why is there such a gap?

    In terms of performance, PLTR showed an above-forecast performance in Q2, with an operating income ratio of +48% and a net profit of +142%, with no fewer government entities. However, the current high value (a market PE of 522 per cent and a historical segmentation rate of 92%), may either leave the market feeling sluggish, may need to be recalculated, or the next catalyst may be expected if Q3 outperforms expectations or AI orders show progress.

    The funds are stored separately. For example, the CPI closed in August, while ARK Funds are continuing to deplete.

    You can also look at the technical side of the signal again. The current 5-day average (157.94) breaks below the 10-day average (163.57), forming a short-term dead fork, with M20 (169.25) and M30 (164.48) forming upward resistance. The BOLL line is currently below the middle track (169.25), close to the lower track (145.04). The MACD shows the DIF and DEA lines continuing to converge above the zero axis, with the column chart turning positive and negative, indicating short-term momentum weakness.

    3. Options strategy: what is the reflection?

    There is no denying that, $Palantir(PLTR.US)$ The volatility of this stock is very high. Since the beginning of the year, the share price has peaked from around $76 to $190, up by about 150%. And in the past two or three weeks, the stock price has fluctuated significantly between $142.34-190.0.

    Investors who want to buy a rebound may consider Buying a Low Value Call after a partial recovery in the share price and a relevant bottom-line support. Buyers of downside risks may consider buying Put as insurance if the current risk outlook is not fundamentally resolved.

    With this kind of high volatility, PLTR shares will absorb some risk and will appeal to highly motivated advanced players. Such investors may consider Long Straddle to Long Straddle or Long Strangle to Buy Wide Straddle Combination for the potential space size of oscillation, oscillation, and profit.

    The following example of Long Strangle, which is based on the tool, aims to make sure that the strategy works only for investment education, and the selection of the tool's executive values and the choice of date to date selection does not serve as investment advice.

    1) PREREQUISITE: YOU THINK $Palantir(PLTR.US)$ There will be greater volatility in the future, which will be able to incur losses on all options

    Recently, Palantir and Intel options have been actively traded... -4

    2) Step:

    ① Open the Options Chain of PLTR, select a crossbar combination, and select the Execution Price Spread

    ② SELECT SPECIFIC LINE OPTION PRICE AND EXPIRATION DATE

    ③ You can see the profit and loss balance chart of the maturity date after the drop-down

    ④ Click the Trade button, then fill in the price and quantity, click the Buy button again

    3. Wind Control: It is best to observe the Volume and Buy Price difference of these options before trading. With low Volume and high Sell Price spread, profits can be lost. With such a unique risk underwriter being able to decide on a Buy Quantity, this Trade is best done by simply looking at which call of an option that is out of the deep price, and then select and stop losing. Please note that since the operation of buying options is different, it is important to note that the value of options will decrease more rapidly with respect to the date.

    Intel

    1. Options signal: the market is expected to decrease in volatility, but there are still many gaps

    $Intel(INTC.US)$ IVs have declined after a rapid rise in the previous two weeks and are currently at relatively moderate levels in history. This indicates that the short-term volatility of stock prices is moderating, but there is still some uncertainty that has not completely disappeared.

    The Security/Purchase Volume Ratio has bounced back after the previous day's high, with the March 27 stock market value currently at 0.54, short-term hedging or vacancy sentiment is easing, and market sentiment is picking up.

    The Rate/Buy Hold Positions ratio has recently increased to 0.62. This uplift reflects the market sentiment and non-partial expectations, while the corresponding demand for Puts is maintained, and there are still many gaps in the market.

    Looking from the near 10-day options move, Call's move, Call's trade is trading more, Call's option price is in the range of $25-32, Put option price is in the range of $23.5-25, these prices may have formed more in a certain way, Call's option price is in the range of 25-3232 In the US dollar, the Put option price is in the range of $23.5-25, and these price positions can be formed into support resistance or resistance positions in a certain period of time.

    2. Basic signal: the national team enters fire and rescue, but the old problem has not been solved, and the overall momentum is insufficient

    Most recently, the United States government sold 9.9% of Intel's shares in the United States for $8.9 billion, which in turn became Shareholders' Certificates on the basis of the original amendment. The goal of Intel is to put Intel's core chip manufacturing capabilities on the ground in the United States.

    This alleviates$Intel(INTC.US)$ The cash flow pressure, on the other hand, is helpful to subsequent winners, to the short-term benefits of the share price, not to the extent that the government's share price is lower than the market price, and undermines the rights of older Shareholders.

    But it is important to note that the government has saved money, but there is no cure for Intel's own ills. The most important thing is its technological problems (such as the low percentage and the money problem, not only Taiwan Semiconductor, but there is no such thing as Apple and NVIDIA's big customers. On the other hand, competition and financial pressures are still very high. It cannot be modified in the long run, that is, viewing technology cannot be compromised, and cannot be placed on customer orders.

    Take another look at the signals from the technical side. As of August 15, as of August 27, the share price has fluctuated between $22.775-26.53 and has not yet formed a unilateral trend.

    MACD SHOWS DIF AND DEA IN CYLINDER STATE SHRINKAGE ON THE SPINDLE, DIMMING THE INCREMENTAL ENERGY REDUCTION, WHICH CAN ENTER THE DISC STAGE. The RSI is currently hovering in the Near Neutral Range without displaying overbought or oversold signals.

    5-day averages (24.41) and 10-day averages (24.30) tend to stick, with share prices hovering near the average line, and direction options await confirmation. The 20-day average (22.33) is tilted upwards, the 30-day line (22.24) is easing, and the medium-term trend is not clear yet.

    As a result of the bulk, there is a dynamic situation that does not work well. If there is no further leavening agent, the share price may continue to fall. In the short term, there may be opportunities for volatility in the short term, but in the medium to long term it is necessary to keep a close eye on the recovery of Financial Indicators and the progress of technical lows.

    3. Options strategy: what to choose for a healthy party?

    from$Intel(INTC.US)$ For the time being, options investors' investment strategy may vary.

    Prompts can buy CallBots, Blanks may buy Put, or make Bear Put Spreads against Bear Put Spreads, profitable returns. In addition, there may be some parties involved in betting, taking the Sell Put Credit, moving to a lower price when the Stocks are falling again, or making a Covered Call on the Covered Call to increase the Cash Benefit during the period of Stock Ownership.

    The practical purpose of the short put in the tool below is that the operational steps of the strategy are used only for investment education, and the selection of the tool's executive price and due date is not an investment recommendation.

    1) PREREQUISITE: THINK$Intel(INTC.US)$ The space below the share price is not large, it will not decrease in price for a while, and I intend to Buy Intel's Stock Stocks at a slightly lower price.

    2, Operation: Sell a zero value put. Executive PriceSelect the price for which you intend to deliver. Depending on the choice of date, the closer the profit, the risk of close calls is greater, the royalty is faster to be pocketed, the far opposite, and the exact opposite of the result can be considered closer.

    3. What are the costs and benefits?

    Below, the Sell option price due at 1P251219 is as an example of a Put of $20, according to the data of the August 27 US Stock Market.

    The net income at the beginning of this Trade is $71, and the required collateral is about $420, which, compared to many other symbols, is not much used in gold.

    1) If the stock price has not fallen below $20 until December 19, then your profit is the highest, minus the transaction fee of $2.52, and you earn 71-2.52=$68.48.

    2 If the stock price falls below $20 in the future, it is very likely that the option will not be exercised due to the volatility of the options, at which time you can choose not to process. At this time, the float displayed in your account can be large, requiring you to have a certain amount of resistance to the float number. A non-level float is not a real float. If there is a very high rise in stock prices ahead of time, options may be replaced at an appropriate time if the options are in default.

    At the market close on December 3, 19, if the stock price is below $20, you will most likely have the right to Buy 100 Shares of Intel at a price of $20, approximately $2,000, which means that you have a lot of money. At this time, the cost of buying and discounting the options money earned is approximately $19.3.

    4. Finally, it is important to highlight the risks of controlling the risks, and the most important is to pay attention to warehouses. The use of funds in this trade does not have to be high, but the number of options that can be counted on the number of options that can be traded is limited, so that the Net Assets in your account can support the transfer of the least amount of Stocks.
